         The Perl Journal is a quarterly, printed magazine
                    devoted to All Things Perl.

                           http://tpj.com

      Issue #5 is speeding toward press, and will be mailed in
       mid-late March.  Now would be a good time to subscribe
           if you don't want to order it as a back issue.

Some heartfelt testimonials:

   "Do yourself a favor and subscribe."
                                                    -SunExpert magazine

   "My first issue of The Perl Journal (vol 1 issue 2) is the best
   single issue of a technical journal I have read. Congratulations to
   all contributors and editors on the great work."

                                                         -Andrew Duncan

   "...a really hot magazine..."
                                                     -HotWired (Packet)


   "The Perl Journal outsells WiReD here. It is certainly one of our
   top 5 selling periodicals, and probably one of our top 2...Issue #2
   was the best selling magazine in our four-and-a-half year
   history of selling magazines."

                               -Ray from Quantum Books of Cambridge, MA

   "By the way I have read from cover to cover both of your
   publications. They have helped me unbelievably at work. Now
   people believe I can do most anything with Perl.  Keep up the
   good work."

                                                            -Doug Spore
