Thanks for volunteering!

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 not contain any perl code, you could always consider whether the patch would be improved with a TAP test, which is our perl regression test system. Testing of that kind might usefully expose flaws in the patch even if the TAP tests you write are themselves not accepted into the project.
