One of the easiest ways to contribute is to review patches already submitted in the commitfest application. See
https://commitfest.postgresql.org/

There may be patches in the list that have some perl component that you could review.  Even if the patch itself does
notcontain any perl code, you could always consider whether the patch would be improved with a TAP test, which is our
perlregression test system.  Testing of that kind might usefully expose flaws in the patch even if the TAP tests you
writeare themselves not accepted into the project.
