The Perl Journal was the only printed programming magazine worth a darn.

I quit programming around the rise of Rails. I started professionally around the rise of the Camel book Perl 4.

PHP, Ruby, REXX, Python, C, Java, VB, Javascript, TurboPascal, and any of the hate structured query languages ... all of it is tripe compared to the weirdest and greatest perl module of all time:

Lingua::Romana::Perligata -- Perl for the XXI-imum Century.

This Perl module -- Lingua::Romana::Perligata -- makes it possible to write Perl programs in Latin.
