I hate to be the bearer of possibly bad news, but the Perl Journal will
not be returning as a full fledged monthly magazine. I was told today by
cmp that it will only be released as a quarterly supplement to subscribers
of sysadmin.
Granted, I enjoy the thought that it is at least available, but I am
sincerely disappointed to hear that it will be arriving at my house only 4
times a year and still carry the cost of requiring a subscription to
another magazine entirely.
