I used to really enjoy this magazine. There was quite a bit of diversity in the articles. I found it particularly interesting to see how Perl was being used in various endeavors.

I had an entry in issue #7 in the Obfuscated Perl contest. I took second place in the best "The Perl Journal" printed output competition.

A lot of the content from these issues was collected in the O'Reilly book Games, Diversions, and Perl Culture.
