Fortunately, programmers who want the latest information have several avenues available to them - magazines, newsletters, conferences, blogs and webcasts - each with varying degrees of "freshness" of the information provided (perhaps 1-3 months with magazines and webcasts or only days with newsletters and blogs).

On this page I provide a summary of the magazines that a Perl programmer might find interesting, categorized as to the information covered. I also highlight "online magazines", where the content is updated/archived on a monthly basis.
