The Perl Journal Archive Back (and Online Too!)

TPJ was one of just 5 publications I subscribe to (and 2 of them are comic books so I don't think that counts ;)
And fp'ing as well!
I'm not afraid of falling, it's the sudden stop at the end that frightens me.
The worst terrorist attack in recorded history occurred less than one month ago, followed by another attack just hours ago, and you people have the gall to be discussing the fact that the "The Perl Journal is back. It's been rolled into Sys Admin Magazine as a quarterly supplement for the print publication. On the web side, the archive articles are all up now here. See articles from Vol 1 Issue 1 on regex by Tom Christiansen and cgi programming by Lincoln Stein"???? My *god*, people, GET SOME PRIORITIES!
The bodies of the 6000+ innocent people who died in these unprecedented tragedies could give a good god damn about The Perl Journal, your childish Lego models, your nerf toy guns and whining about the lack of a "fun" workplace, your Everquest/Diablo/D&D fixation, the latest Cowboy Bebop rerun, or any of the other ways you are "getting on with your life" (here's a hint: watching Cowboy Bebop in your jammies and eating a bowl of Shreddie's is *not* "getting on with your life"). The souls of the victims are watching in horror as you people squander your finite, precious time on this earth playing video games!
You people disgust me! In a way, you're almost as bad as the terrorists themselves. At least they had the conviction to die doing something they believed in.
Well, other than that... I don't know how to respond.
Perhaps some perl coding is in order.

I guess I can throw out all my perl manuals now... phew.

I gave CowboyNeal a pearl necklace a few minutes ago. Then he licked the cum off his sagging man-tits and said it tasted better than Taco's.
I'll just stop working and supporting my family while I'm at. Hell, might as well quit breathing, too. All those people died. Might as well give up life now.

As far as I can see, it just wraps two excellent information sources into one big bundle of joy. Both are excellent (and somewhat related depending on how much of a PERL purist you are) magaizines for their genres.

Yeah and you know what. There have been a lot worse problems in the world. I look at the broader historical forces. Take Jhengiz Khan for example. The crusades. In fact most of the early half of the 20th century Europe had worse. So it's really hard to get easily worked up at least for me.
"The bodies of the 6000+ innocent people who died in these unprecedented tragedies could give a good god damn about The Perl Journal, your childish Lego models, your nerf toy guns and whining about the lack of a "fun" workplace, your Everquest/Diablo/D&D fixation, the latest Cowboy Bebop rerun, or any of the other ways you are "getting on with your life" (here's a hint: watching Cowboy Bebop in your jammies and eating a bowl of Shreddie's is *not* "getting on with your life")."
Let me guess you are either a) the quisential hippie who has a bunch of 20th century philosophy and really dosn't understand the full ramifications of people's lives. Let me tell you there are those of us in this world who have to take the pragmatic view that there are fates worse than death. Yes there are. Trust me you have no idea of suffering for those who are *living* I am sure that the living envy the dead many times.
To make a long point even longer you really have to understand that psychologically speaking that there are different ways of coping with things and this may be one of them.
I should also like to point out that being a person who really isn't in any geographical location near this it's hard to be continuously worked up about this. Frankly a 100 megaton hyrodgen warhead could have exploded above the towers and most likely I wouldn't have to worry about anything but a little background radiation to worry me. The thing I worry about is getting the "priviledge" of experiencing a new great depression becuase the last one missed my lifetime. That is nothing I am looking forward to.
"The souls of the victims are watching in horror as you people squander your finite, precious time on this earth playing video games!"
Oh please. I really would like some nice scientific proof that there is even a soul. In fact I once had religious belief however there is a point at which the overwhelming evidence towards a nice little conspiracy of history and mania makes this foolish. Personally I would like to believe in an afterlife because of fear of the unknown void but that isn't likely to happen.
"You people disgust me!"
And your AC opinion matters to me how? Frankly you are no different from many neauvo rich people who have little to deal with in life but thinking about qualms of philosphy and discussing the existential horror of their lives. The man on the street dosn't give a shit after a while and I don't either. And if you think that I am some sort of uneducated fool think again. I probably have read more books that you will in your entire life and have a college degree so please spare me the histrionics and get back to smoking grass or whatever hippies still do (like protest the *eeeeevvvvviiillll* companies and bitch imporantly).
"In a way, you're almost as bad as the terrorists themselves."
Boy you are clueless. I would love to know exactly this ties in with anything logical maybe you should explain so I can shoot down this U-2 as well.
"At least they had the conviction to die doing something they believed in."
Ignorance of history. These people are fanatics. They are in fact similar to the original shite sect of the assassins (who got that name by getting stoned out via marajuana and getting fucked and gorged in their master's secret garden to get them ready to die and live like that in the afterlife). Who would do all kinds of nutty things. Eventually they were wiped out by the Turks but still they are deluded fools. Mainstream islamic followers think that they are fools.
So in the end this is just a rant but frankly one that I need to post.

Hey, a plane was hijacked and flown into the Japanese diet less than 15 minutes ago!
hostages onboard called from cellular phones and said the men were darkly complected and had Middle Eastern accents, so it looks like an Islamic attack tied to 9/11!

I picked up SysAdmin/TPJ at a newsstand a few days ago, and was dissappointed that TPJ was only 28 pages.
I hope this is not indicative of the size of future issues.
That's funny, because I actually was going not to prolong my subscription to Sysadmin: I subscribed to it a year ago and am disappointed how boring it is. No good shell scripts, no information about my favorite operating system, lots of annoying commercials. Only Merlin's articles were good. They should look at some german magazines and learn how to do an interesting and enthusiastic Unix-publication. I mean Linux Magazine and iX.
But now since the excellent TPJ is back, I'll extend my subscription of course :-) Great news
Has anyone mentioned anything about reimbursing old TPJ subscribers for the issues that they were not sent (but had paid for) when the the old TPJ was vaporized?
It amounts to a small dollar value but it's the principle of the thing. Potential new 'n' improved TPJ subscribers might want to think about the way old (loyal?) subscribers were treated.

It appears that after 60 comments only one has been moded up and the majority have been moded to 0 or listed Off-Topic. It looks like "perl journal back up" is just a topic too hot to handle....
I recently started read TPJ and was totally ready to subscribe and buy all the back issues. I think if buy enough things that say Perl on them then I'll learn it by osmosis (which, btw, isn't going too well.)
I just bought SysAdmin the other day (despite my being an NT Sys Admin which isn't exactly the same thing as being a Sys Admin -- it's like Sys Admin Lite) to get my sweaty hands on TPJ. It was kinda thin. What 30 (?) pages? Seems kinda chinsy. And I have this SysAdmin Magazine which near as I can tell (I do use Linux and OSX for fun) kinda blows.
Someone needs to make TPJ its own mag again.
This
Umm, in the past year, there have been at least 3 how-to articles in SysAdmin using OpenBSD. You need to get your eyes checked.
Read OBSDJ or the cvs-commits if OpenBSD is all you care about. Personally, I've found several of the articles (eg. on Snort and Cisco ACLs) quite useful, and the high-availability jury-rigging tips are invaluable.
The Perl Journal had gone downhill quite a bit (IMHO) as of last issue. I hope it will return to its former glory, but I'm not holding my breath.
Remember that what's inside of you doesn't matter because nobody can see it.
this is the second time I ordered back issues online and they don't even send out a receipt. Pretty lame... I hope I get the back issues, a receipt and confirmation of my order. Can't they set up a better "shop" ?
It is a sad tragedy that happened, but to me this is living. What ever you are doing to get on with living (which you did not mention...)do not jump on slashdotters for these things that make us happy.
I was under the impression that Perl's patterns are more than regular, but not quite context free. Does anybody know where they are in expressiveness?
Also, does anybody know why Perl doesn't implement a full regular transducer? It seems like that what they are having to hack at in the regex article. The full transducer can then pull at the already derived theory. I don't know what the theoretical power of the Perl's replace facility is, not being a big Perl person, but I imagine that the transducer would be more expressive and at least have well defined semantics.
By the way, can anybody explain how Perl's matching expression are implemented? I tried looking at the code, but was quickly lost (At my last job, I even implemented a full transducer, too).
