The Perl Journal
Before there was Ruby, there was Perl. Built on the back of text processing utilities like sed and awk, Larry Wall created a language that was designed to be fun and quirky and efficiently work with text. It was probably the first language I felt truly productive in. I loved stringing together Unix utility scripts in Perl, processing server-side input. At one point I even worked at a development shop that had built an entire web service entirely in Perl.
For the most part people, including me, have moved on to other languages, most notably Python and Ruby. But Perl will always hold a soft spot in my heart from those early internet days.

Founded in 1996 by JonOrwant, ThePerlJournal has been the leading publication for and about PerlLanguage programming. From the outset, JonOrwant's goal was to publish a magazine that was educational, entertaining, and intellectually stimulating in its exploration of the craft of PerlLanguage and the craft of programming. TPJ was published as a standalone quarterly magazine until 2001 when it became a quarterly supplement to SysAdminMagazine. Beginning in November 2002, TPJ moved to a reader-supported monthly e-zine format in which subscribers can download issues as PDF documents. TPJ remains committed to JonOrwant's original vision -- a publication for and by PerlLanguage programmers who see fun and beauty in an admittedly quirky little language.
