Chankey,
Both Perl 5 and Perl 6 have benefitted from sponsorships from companies like Booking.com, Craigslist, LiquidWeb, and cPanel (where I currently work), as well as numerous sponsorships from smaller companies and consultancies around the world. Even more would be nice, of course, and if you know of a company that's a heavy Perl user and would like to help sponsor Perl development, get them in touch with The Perl Foundation at http://www.perlfoundation.org!
I'm with Ben on this, Jason--I'd *love* to see an article from you on this method of yours! I use Markdown for my article submissions here, but the rest of your process sounds interesting.
