sufficiently advanced technology : the gatheringTHE PERL REVIEW is certainly *not* the open source replacement for the excellent Perl Journal, currently embedded as a trophy supplement in SysAdmin magazine. Oh no. But what it currently *is* is the St. Andrews of PERL GOLF. Perl Golf is the ancient recreation of Perl Monks and Fun-With-Perl subscribers, whereby competitors seek to whittle down an executable solution to a challenge to the minimum number of (key)strokes. It's not quite obfuscation, and it's not quite RSA-in-1-line-of-perl, but it is fun. The next round of official Perl Golf at The Perl Review course starts on April 1st, but with their handy utilities, you can play your own round whenever you want. PGAS is an XMLRPC-driven Perl Golf Administration System, and Games::Golf is the Perl golf test suite: with both, even the humblest Perl Monastery can devise and manage a few rounds. Add in the cultural traditions and rules that the Review did finally settle upon (like 'BoB', the pacesetting imaginary ubergolfer, who is played by the Judges using the best ideas from all current contributions), and you've got the most fun you can have while still giving Bertrand Meyer a coronary.
