The Perl Journal posted the winners to its annual depravity contest on its website. Most Depraved are:

  • Most Powerful: Clifford Adams, for an implementation of two software munitions packed into five lines.
  • Most Creative: Stephane Payrard, for a Polyominos problem solver.
  • Best 'The Perl Journal': Jani Joki, for the implementation and decryption of an 8-bit Feistel Network.

Also posted is a *shudder* archive of all the entries. We are assuming it is not for the faint of heart.
