Hi
A couple points to consider:
- What do you need the money for?
- Is your contribution really so valuable to the Perl community that they should pay you for it?
- You say you have "a module on cpan." Have you looked at how many people also have modules on cpan? Many of these people have made multiple major contributions. What makes your contribution stand out?
- As stated before, even key players like Dan and Damian may not get grants for their excellent work (thanks guys :). That's not even considering these people or the many other most excellent developers who provide you with a free language.
I guess this basically boils down to, why should you be given a grant over others?

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).

Want more info? How to link
or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
