Christos Argyropoulos, MD, PhD. (you know him here!) is our moderator for this virtual event, which is December 18th, 2024 - Perl's 37th birthday! At this event we will be announcing our Summer 2025 plans, which will include a 3rd Issue of the SPJ.

We have author 6 committments from some very exciting topics, but we want more! The Summer Issue has 8 authors and is nearly 150 pages. We are looking to double the number of authors, doubling the number of pages is going to be a stretch 😀.

Click here to submit your paper proposal.

Note:

In case this was not clear, I stated it so in this most recent post at BPO:

If you ever wanted to be a published Perl author, here is your chance - the Science Perl Journal issues have their own ISBNs, papers will be getting their own DOIs, and all contributors are listed as co-authors of the Issue in which they appear.

You may reach out to us on #science on irc . perl . org or on Dr. Adam Russell's very active and awesome, Perl Applications & Algorithms discord server.

Guys, Perl is famous for backwards compatibility. What is the oldest bit of perl use that is still relevant that you have heard of?
