It really _is_ a pity.

I still get the Perl Journal every month despite the fact I'm
now less than enthused with the language, having found Python...

The thing is, the articles are _good_ and they're good because
they talk about people actually using Perl to solve interesting
problems, whether they be real life pracitcal problems or abstract
computer science / algorithm problems.

For instance, Mark Dominus who is a good writer (his articles are
some of the only clues we had for a *long time* on some really
poorly understood and badly documented Perl topics) recently wrote
a series of articles on 'memoization' - the use of recursion and
recursive data structures to implement caching algorithms that save 
huge gots of time on repeated computations..

Python needs something similar.
