Four years ago, brian d foy, created the magazine, The Perl Review, dedicated to the Perl programming language. Unlike what you may have heard on Slashdot a few days ago, Perl is far from dead. 
I’ve learned more about the Test modules than from Perl Testing: A Developer’s Notebook (Developers Notebook) alone.
Every quarter, I play a little game. When I receive the email from Brian informing me that the latest issue is available for download, I check my US Mail box to see if the printed issue was already delivered. Most of the time, I receive the printed issue within a couple days of the email. One day, I’ll receive the printed issue first. Observed time can be loopy like that.
I am an avid follower of the magazine and hope to have our MyDatabases as popular as The Perl Review.
Kudos to brian d foy and the article writers!

The first year is downloadable for free: http://www.theperlreview.com/Issues
’tis cheaper at https://www.theperlreview.com/cgi-bin/subscribe.cgi – $22/year USD compared to $32/year USD at Amazon.com
To be fair, we tried to describe testing strategies and teach how to think about testing more than covering any specific test modules (beyond Test::More) in the book….
I think of the testing issue of The Perl Journal as almost the guide to the book. They complement each other rather well
You should always get the email about the new issue before the printed version. The week I send the issue to the printer I aslo make it available online. Sometimes I also make it available before I send it to the printer to get early corrections before I commit it to paper.
You see, I’ve been watching an old 80s tv show called, the Voyagers. If a 12 year old boy can travel around in time, on tv, I should be able to do so in real life. Well, I can dream about it anyways.
Getting the printed issue before the email would be proof that time travel in a small way can be performed.
Can you tell I’ve been up most of the night between work and a teething munchkin?
