Why not?  Github allows forks of forks, or you can just add Paul's fork
as a remote to your local checkout, if you already your own fork of
perl/perl5.

Just make sure you `git pull --rebase` (or `git config
branch.<name>.rebase true` to make it automatic), so your local changes
get rebased on top of the remote changes, rather than creating messy
history full of merge commits.
