In keeping with the 16th issue's poetry theme, TPJ is hosting its first Perl Poetry Contest, judged by Kevin Meltzer.
"Our Obfuscated Perl Contest is ugly and evil. We know this, and revel in it," wrote TPJ editor Jon Orwant. "To compensate for encouraging these most unpoetic programs, we hereby present our first Perl Poetry Contest, to be judged by Perl poet Kevin Meltzer. This is a chance to show the world just how beautiful Perl can be."
