Entrants to the competition aim to write "devious, inhuman, disgusting, amusing, amazing, and bizarre Perl code" . The competition is typically divided into four categories, which, in the most recent contest, included: * Create a diversion (limit of 2048 bytes if using Perl/Tk, 512 bytes otherwise) * World Wide Wasteland (limit of 512 bytes) * Inner Beauty (limit of 512 bytes) * Best The Perl Journal (code which generates the words The Perl Journal, limit of 256 bytes) The entries are judged on aesthetics, output and incomprehensibility. One entrant per year will gain the Best of Show award. Entrants are advised to try and demonstrate a range of Perl knowledge, whilst being humorous, surprising and deceitful. Code which purposefully crashes the judges' machines is not recommended.
