Hacktoberfest is nearly upon us again. If you sign up and then do 4 pull requests in October, you'll get a free t-shirt. Sadly the list of Featured Projects doesn't include any Perl ones, but last year I created a list of featured Perl projects.

If you've got some issues you'd like to offer as fodder for the fest, all you need to do is add a Hacktoberfest label to the issues

First you'll need to add Hacktoberfest as a valid label: click on the Issues* tab of your repo, then click on the *Labels button (on the row below the tabs, in the middle). Click on New label and add *Hacktoberfest.

Click on an issue you want to add the label to

Click on the "Labels" item in the right-hand sidebar

Click on Hacktoberfest

Now when click on the browse more projects link on the Hacktoberfest home page, they'll find your issue.

It would be good to see Perl in the list of languages on the left!
