Untitled[edit]

Does the Obfuscated Perl contest still exist at all? Googling for these words does not appear to generate any useful search results, and there does not appear to be any webpage that lists

Help? -- Timwi 20:14, 13 Oct 2003 (UTC)

I don't know if the contest itself exists but the links you removed still exist - it's just that you now need to subscribe to the Perl journal to be able to read them. I shall note this in the article. Angela 20:31, Oct 13, 2003 (UTC)

Notability[edit]

I'm suggesting that this article doesn't meet notability guidelines. It's about some programmers larking about, a few years ago, with no apparent consequences. There's one reference but I'm not sure it's an "independent" source since it's a publication involved with the contest. I suggest that any useful content should be moved to the Perl article, and this one removed. I'm a Perl user myself, I hope you don't find this offensive, and please feel free to edit the article and establish notability if I'm wrong :) --mcld (talk) 18:00, 25 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The notability has been established in the linked reference. Topics do not become less notable with time, or else we'd have deleted War of 1812 by now. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 63.209.227.213 (talk) 01:46, 2 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
It has not been established in the linked reference! The linked reference gives a 404 error, and I can't find it in the Wayback Machine either. Could you please provide better references, if they exist? Thanks --mcld (talk) 09:17, 14 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Perhaps it should be merged into a collective page of obfucated code contests in general? 210.4.224.236 (talk) 07:46, 3 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

What's the difference between this and a regular Perl contest? Tautologous (talk) 09:48, 31 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
