RIP: The Perl Journal

Posted by chrisd on from the tpj-was-good-for-perl dept.

mbadolato writes "I'm surprised this hasn't been reported yet. Over at use.perl they're reporting that when the current issue of SysAdmin comes out, this will be the last installment of The Perl Journal. It's a shame. TPJ originally was stopped as a stand-alone, but was then included into Sysadmin. Now that's going too. We all owe a big thanks to all the contributers, and to Jon Orwant, for providing us a great resource in TPJ over the years."

    First the money went..

    $tpj =~ s/\$//g;

    So two magazines merged..

    $sysadmin .= $tpj;

    The advertising slump hit hard..

    $sysadmin =~ s/ActiveState/Make Money Fast!/g;

    And eventually they lost money merged together too.

    $sysadmin =~ s/\$//g;

    The arse totally fell out of the operation.

    $sysadmin =~ s/.//g;

    So they shut up shop.

    exit;
