In its first five years of existence, The Perl Journal ran 247 articles by over 120 authors. Every serious Perl programmer subscribed to it, and every notable Perl guru jumped at the opportunity to write for it. TPJ explained critical topics such as regular expressions, databases, and object-oriented programming, and demonstrated Perl's utility for fields as diverse as astronomy, biology, economics, AI, and games. The magazine gave birth to both the Obfuscated Perl Contest and the Perl Poetry contest, and remains a proud and timeless achievement of Perl during one of its most exciting periods of development.Computer Science and Perl Programming is the first volume of The Best of the Perl Journal, compiled and re-edited by the original editor and publisher of The Perl Journal, Jon Orwant. In this series, we've taken the very best (and still relevant) articles published in TPJ over its 5 years of publication and immortalized them into three volumes. This volume has 70 articles devoted to hard-core computer science, advanced programming techniques, and the underlying mechanics of Perl.Here's a sample of what you'll find inside:

  • Jeffrey Friedl on Understanding Regexes
  • Mark Jason Dominus on optimizing your Perl programs with Memoization
  • Damian Conway on Parsing
  • Tim Meadowcroft on integrating Perl with Microsoft Office
  • Larry Wall on the culture of Perl
Written by 41 of the most prominent and prolific members of the closely-knit Perl community, this anthology does what no other book can, giving unique insight into the real-life applications and powerful techniques made possible by Perl.Other books tell you how to use Perl, but this book goes far beyond that: it shows you not only how to use Perl, but what you could use Perl for. This is more than just The Best of the Perl Journal -- in many ways, this is the best of Perl.

Strong beginner paddle.
Color: 1 Blue
I have been using the LiberAla Pickleball Paddle for some of my beginner lessons and let me tell you—this thing is a game changer. My students gave some of their first impressions: "First off, it feels like holding a wand. A very powerful wand, mind you." "I picked it up, and suddenly I felt like I was ready for a professional tournament, even if my skills still resemble a baby giraffe on ice." The grip is super comfy—it is a little on the bigger side, so not for the smallest hands. The lightweight design makes it easy to catch those tricky volleys.  One of my students said they felt like they could send the ball soaring into the stratosphere! Or, you know, at least over the net most of the time. As for the sweet spot, it is excellent covering most of the face of the paddle. The sound? A little on the loud side, makes a satisfying “thwack” that sounds way more impressive than it is. Now, I can’t say we didn’t have a few cringe-worthy moments—like when one of my players tried to smash it like a pro and ended up sending the ball straight into my own face -- that's why I always wear protective goggles. Classic! But hey, if laughter is the best medicine, I might just be the healthiest pickleball player out there. Overall, the LiberAla Paddle is a solid choice for any beginner looking to have a laugh and unleash their inner pickleball guru. Just maybe get some goggles if you’re like some of my students and have a penchant for unintentional self-harm. Happy paddle swinging! Paddle quality: Well made, good carbon fiber face, grip is comfortable and absorbent.  Edge protector is a big plus for beginners.

Good quality and good value for money
Color: 1 Blue and 1 Orange
Love this pickleball paddle set very much because: 1, the quality is great. I’ve purchased two other paddles. The two paddles in this set are satisfied. The feeling of holding them is good and the sound when they hit the pickle balls is satisfying. It’s not heavy, probably due to the honeycomb and carbon fiber material. 2, the colors are pretty and the color patterns are good designed. It’s easy to find our paddles. 3, this set is a good value for money. It contains two paddles, four balls, and a bag. You get everything with good quality with the money for one paddle. Overall, this pickleball paddle set has good quality and good value for money. Worth trying.

Great
Color: 1 Pro White
This new pro-level paddle is an absolute revelation, truly earning its five-star rating. My control instantly improved; dinks became effortless and drops landed precisely where I aimed them. The textured surface generates incredible spin, allowing for shots with wicked curve and dive. Power is readily available, transforming drives into piercing rockets across the court. Even during extended rallies, its balanced feel and quick handling keep me agile at the net. The sweet spot is incredibly generous, providing surprising forgiveness on less-than-perfect contact. It feels remarkably durable, shrugging off aggressive play without a scratch. This paddle doesn't just play well; it feels like a natural extension of my own hand, elevating my entire game. Seriously, if you're looking to upgrade your performance, this is the paddle you need.
