The Perl Journal e-zine

Posted by timothy on from the plain-unglossy-electrons dept.

I might try it out, even though they are expanding coverage to include Windows -- unthrilled. I liked TPJ best when is was printed on plain, unglossy paper...."

    $12 for what ?
    a perl magazine ?
    no thank you , i have the newsgroups
    and i have the perldoc called thingy :P

    i've been a programmer for about 12 years
    now, and i hardly belive that you can
    teach me anything in your magazine.

    i belive in "FREE" things.
    not in things that i have to pay for.

    did i have to pay for perl ?
    no

    did i have to pay for my debian ?
    no

    do i have to pay for perldoc or mailing lists ?
    no

    i understand that you are willing to make
    some money with it (not much, but still)
    but why don't you just get a regular job ?

    the e-industry as u people call it, is OVER
    there is no such thing anymore.

    there is only online banking, amazon & e-bay

    you won't cut it with a perl magazine,
    not even in your wildest dreams.

    Sorry to say all that, but ... just forget the idea
