Take 2 of mst's text, taking into account some of the comments  
jshirley and I have made:

Aims of the Enlightened Perl Organisation:

To encourage the usage of the Perl programming language as a modern,  
high-level development platform, by working to fund and/or organize:

  - Improvements to the public facing parts of existing Perl projects,  
including design and content organisation and accessibility, by co- 
operation with the projects involved to see where their volunteer  
capacity is lacking;
  - Eliciting the creation and/or improvement of tutorials,  
screencasts, books, reference documentation, training courses and  
other accessible documentation to make it easier for new users to get  
started with modern Perl;
  - Encouraging people to blog their experiences of Perl development,  
both as individuals and as part of corporations, in order to raise the  
profile of Perl across the blogosphere and social media aggregators;
  - Simplyfing and streamlining the installation of common "new wave  
of CPAN" libraries, and applications developed using them, in order to  
simplify experimentation and deployment;
  - Grants for development of specific pieces of code that scratch no  
developer's itch, but make corporate and/or hobbyist adoption of  
enlightened Perl easier;
  - Production of articles and white papers to provide a CxO level  
view of the advantages of modern Perl as a platform for new development;
  - Getting organisations already using modern Perl to speak out about  
their success stories, and helping them to get involved with the  
community.

Why you should join the Enlightened Perl Organisation:

  - As a company, organisation membership gives a clear statement that  
you believe in and support the usage of modern Perl for new  
development, making it easier to hire smart Perl hackers and get help  
via community channels
  - As an individual, organisation membership shows your commitment to  
having modern Perl skills that are usable on large, modern projects,  
and an understanding that maintainability and return on investment  
beat cool hacks for commercial work any time
  - As either, membership will allow you to get easy access to the  
working groups / special interest groups within the enlightened Perl  
organisation and to have a say in the direction of both the  
organisation itself and of our strategies for putting the time and  
funds available to us to best use
