November 2002 - The Perl Journal #

Extrakt aus dem pdf, da ich nicht weiss, wie ich in usemod-Wiki Dateien anhängen kann.

 MarkusMonderkamp (hat jemand Webspace zuviel?)

Wir haben gerne noch Platz im Webspace der LUG-KR auf Sourceforge. Wenn Du möchtest, kannst Du auch selber webadmin dort werden. Allerdings habe ich jetzt nicht ganz verstanden, warum das nicht irgendwoanders hin verlinkt wird?!? Ist das nicht offen? Dann möchte ich es lieber nicht auf dem LUG-Server haben... -- ThomasBayen

Uups - Ich lasse die Inhaltsangabe und den Brief des Herausgebers stehen. Alles andere gibt's für 12 US-Dollar p.A. unter tpj.

Battling the Three P�s 
What you are reading right now is an experiment that worked. Just a
few 
scant months ago, The Perl Journal�s future was dim,
primarily due to 
the high cost of publishing�s three
P�s�paper, printing, and postage. 
However, there is one thing that publishing�s powers
forget to consider at times� 
people, specifically the people who are committed to magazines like
TPJ. I�m talking, 
of course, about you, folks�the people who use Perl day
in and day out. You 
have made it clear that you value a publication that helps you see
the simplicity, 
power, and (some would say) beauty of this language. Consequently,
we decided 
to hitch our wagon not to paper and printing costs, but to what we
saw as our best 
bet�reader enthusiasm. And it�s working. The
level of support we�ve seen for this 
all-electronic, reader-supported incarnation of TPJ has been both
dramatic and gratifying. 
What this all means is that we can get back to the business of
writing about Perl. 
In this, my aspirations are similar to those of Jon Orwant when he
launched TPJ 
back in 1996. 
�Perl is a pleasure to write about: It�s
quirky and useful and fun. We hope 

the same will be said of TPJ�We want TPJ to be intricate
and interesting, 
like Perl itself.� 
Jon is right�Perl is a sometimes odd, but almost always
efficient and economical 
language. We can do a lot worse at TPJ than to try to embody those
qualities. 
(Well, some would say we�ve already got the
�odd� part nailed down.) 
So we hope you�ll like what we�ve lined up
for you in this and future issues: 
Moshe Bar rolls his own stress-test application that makes use of
the Parallel Fork 
Manager; Robert Kiesling tells us when (and when not) to use perlcc
to compile 
scripts into standalone executables; Sean Burke presents a very
useful tool for converting 
HTML to an RSS feed; Columnists brian d foy and Simon Cozens
discuss, 
respectively, the Test::Pod and Attribute::Persistent modules, and
Jack Woehr reviews 
Extending and Embedding Perl by way of an interview with one of the
authors. 
(By the way, you�ll find the listings for these articles
both at the end of each 
article and in the Source Code Appendix at the end of the issue,
where the singlecolumn 
layout makes for easy cut-and-paste.) 
And don�t forget�this is your magazine. If
you�ve got a clever bit of Perl that 
you�re itching to share with your fellow Perl
programmers, how about writing an 
article about it? If you have any questions, suggestions, or
recommendations for or 
about TPJ, just drop me a note at kcarlson@tpj.com.
