How to share the project?

wb has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

I have Perl-Postgres project named "Seal". Seal is a GUI desktop database project for end-user which allow to run destop application which is written in short text files without any compilation.

My problem is where I should put the project (as an opensource project but not neccesary free one) in the Internet if I would to share it among potential database developers (to develop it) and end-users (to use it)?

Seal contains Perl and plpgsql as an internal languages. I wrap the application into exec with the ActiveState tool. Perl in the Seal is more fundamental than postgres and I did not want to be replaced by - for example - C++. Whereas Postgres part can actually be replaced by, lets say, other sql databases (but advance enough). But it is definitely database project. Now it is Windows one as I use Win32::GUI Perl module, but - again in principle - it can be replaced by cross-platform libraries: for instance wxPerl or Prima.

What brothers can say?

github is currently quite in vogue among (Perl) developers. It requires you to use `git` as your source control system, but there are no restrictions on what you store.	[reply] [d/l]

Thank you! My poor English! I'd like to make my project more familiar to people deal with SQL (especially postgres) client-server (remote or local network). I think that your comment (I appriciate it) is important as a next step. I wonder how (or where?) I should published it to be available for the people. As I know that it is has to be opensource but I am still do not know if it has to be free	[reply]

You mean, you have a ready made Perl related package, and you want to distribute that? That's what CPAN is for, isn't it?	[reply]

To my knowledge, there is not required open source software to be gratis (for zero price), but users often expect to be.	[reply]
