Hi there!
Ramadan seems to have a very positive impact on Mohammad Sajid Anwar
(manwar) ( https://manwar.org/ ), author of The Weekly Challenge (
https://theweeklychallenge.org/ ) and co-editor of The Perl Weekly
newsletter ( https://perlweekly.com/ ). He learns all kinds of new things
and writes long blog posts about them. Some of them are Perl related, some
are not. Anyway, see the links in this newsletter.
I, on the other hand, was recently contacted by a number of people wanting
to migrate from Perl to Rust or Python. My first question is why.
After all even if I end up helping them with the move, I need to understand
why do they want to move. Because of this I started to have some picture of
why people feel the urge to move away from Perl. However, my sample is too
small and probably rather biased. None of the people who contacted me
wanted to move to Java or C, or NodeJS. That's can be for many reasons, one
of them the fact that I don't mention those languages on my LinkedIn
profile.
So I'd like to get your help in understanding the central motivations for
wanting to move away from Perl. If your company has moved away or is
discussing the idea, I'd love to hear from you (a private email would be
excellent) to understand the real pain points.
On the other hand, if your company has recently moved to Perl or is
planning to do so, I'd love to hear about that too. If they need help I'd
be glad to help them too (
https://szabgab.com/moving-between-perl-python-rust ) and I am sure people
in the Perl community would be thrilled to hear such stories. Even if we
can't publish the names of the companies.
Enjoy your week!

An interesting direction. As far as I know DEV.to has a feature to
automatically create articles from an RSS feed on your blog. So one could
write the original on her own blog site and then easily post it on DEV.to
as well even setting the canonical_url on DEV to point to the
original article.

find plenty of solutions to keep you busy.
--------------
=20
Reverse Broken Keys for Letters
http://rabbitfarm.com/cgi-bin/blosxom/perl/2025/03/23

Breakdown analysis is something, I always prefer. It helps understand the
flow, great work. Keep it up.

Big fan of CPAN. Just love the compact solutions. Very crafty. well done.
--------------
=20
Reverse Broken
https://raku-musings.com/reverse-broken.html
=20
Parameter validation in the method signature is one of the coolest featur=
e
of Raku language. In this post post, you'll find it used with full
liberty. Great work, thanks for sharing.

Broken Down Letters

What an art of regex, incredible. You need to take a deep breath first
before you look at it. Smart hacker, I would say.

up with fellow members. Very impressive work, thanks for sharing
knowledge with us.
--------------
=20
Broken letters
http://ccgi.campbellsmiths.force9.co.uk/challenge/313
=20
With regex based solution, I always need explanation otherwise you spend
good amount of time to get your head around if it is a complex one. Here
you even have DIY tool to test it as well. Great work.

Create a static mirror of your DEV blog
https://dev.to/dkechag/create-a-static-mirror-of-your-dev-blog-d6a
=20
An interesting direction. As far as I know DEV.to has a feature to
automatically create articles from an RSS feed on your blog. So one could
write the original on her own blog site and then easily post it on DEV.to
as well even setting the canonical_url on DEV to point to the
original article.

END Block Hijacking

=20
END blocks are one of the 'magic' features of Perl. It effectively allows
you to execute more code even after exit() was called or even
after your program has dieed. Rob has a lot more to say about it.

Issue #713 - 2025-03-24 - Why do companies migrate away from Perl?

Hi there!
=20
Ramadan seems to have a very positive impact on manwar.org/">Mohammad Sajid Anwar (manwar), author of //theweeklychallenge.org/">The Weekly Challenge and co-editor of f=3D"https://perlweekly.com/">The Perl Weekly newsletter. He learns all=
kinds of new things and writes long blog posts about them. Some of them ar=
e Perl related, some are not. Anyway, see the links in this newsletter.
=20
I, on the other hand, was recently contacted by a number of people =
wanting to migrate from Perl to Rust or Python. My first question is why=
. After all even if I end up helping them with the move, I need to unde=
rstand why do they want to move. Because of this I started to have some pic=
ture of why people feel the urge to move away from Perl. However, my sample=
is too small and probably rather biased. None of the people who contacted=
me wanted to move to Java or C, or NodeJS. That's can be for many reasons,=
one of them the fact that I don't mention those languages on my LinkedIn p=
rofile.
=20
So I'd like to get your help in understanding the central motivatio=
ns for wanting to move away from Perl. If your company has moved away or is=
discussing the idea, I'd love to hear from you (a private email would be e=
xcellent) to understand the real pain points.
=20
On the other hand, if your company has recently moved to Perl or is=
planning to do so, I'd love to hear about that too. If they need help I'd =
be glad to =
help them too and I am sure people in the Perl community would be thril=
led to hear such stories. Even if we can't publish the names of the compani=
es.
=20
Enjoy your week!
