不然您可以购买使用支援的契约。虽然 Cygnus在过去曾提供这项服务，他们现在已不再出售 Perl的支援合约了。取而代之、填补这个空档的是 the Paul Ingram Group 为此专设的 The Perl Clinic。以下是一则他们的广告：【未翻】
``Do you need professional support for Perl and/or Oraperl? Do you need a support contract with defined levels of service? Do you want to pay only for what you need?''
``The Paul Ingram Group has provided quality software development and support services to some of the world's largest corporations for ten years. We are now offering the same quality support services for Perl at The Perl Clinic. This service is led by Tim Bunce, an active perl porter since 1994 and well known as the author and maintainer of the DBI, DBD::Oracle, and Oraperl modules and author/co-maintainer of The Perl 5 Module List. We also offer Oracle users support for Perl5 Oraperl and related modules (which Oracle is planning to ship as part of Oracle Web Server 3). 20% of the profit from our Perl support work will be donated to The Perl Institute.''
perl.org 是 Perl Institute 的正式传播媒介。TPI (The Perl Institute)的座右铭是「帮助他人帮 Perl助人」（或差不多这个意思）。这是一个非营利性的组织，主旨在支援 perl的发展、文献，和传播。目前 TPI 的领导人包括了 Larry Wall 、 Tom Christiansen，和 Randal Schwartz，这些名字或许您曾在这篇文章的其他地方见过。
