Hi there,
MetaCPAN's recent battle against mounting traffic abuse
stands as a powerful testament to the resilience and ingenuity of
open=E2=80=91source infrastructure teams. After enduring recurring
503 outages that jeopardized service for
Perl hackers worldwide, the MetaCPAN team
embarked on a disciplined, data=E2=80=91driven counterattack. What began wi=
th
rudimentary logs, robots.txt tweaks and
manual IP bans evolved into a robust partnership with
Datadog ( https://www.datadoghq.com ) and Fastly ( https://www.fastly.com
), enabling real=E2=80=91time visibility and proactive defense. With the de=
ployment
of sophisticated rate=E2=80=91limiting rules,
user=E2=80=91agent filtering, next=E2=80=91generation ong>WAF
protections and a dynamic challenge system, MetaCPAN has
successfully blocked some 80=E2=80=AFpercent of malicious
traffic=E2=80=94including AI scrapers=E2=80=94while delive=
ring a steady,
reliable experience to legitimate users. This journey highlights how
transparency, layered defense and smart automation can transform a crisis
into an opportunity for stronger, more sustainable service.
Mark Gardner=E2=80=99s return to technical blogging (
https://phoenixtrap.com ) marks a welcome revival of one of
Perl=E2=80=99s clearest and most thoughtful voices.
Robert Acock created a mobile app, Heaven Vs
Hell, written using react native and backend API's in
Mojolicious. You can find it in Google Play (
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=3Dio.heavenvshell ) and App
Store ( https://apps.apple.com/us/app/heaven-vs-hell/id6748543465 ).
Enjoy rest of the newsletter.

RECAP - The Weekly Challenge - 332
https://theweeklychallenge.org/blog/recap-challenge-332
=20
Enjoy a quick recap of last week's contributions by Team PWC dealing with
the "Binary Date" and "Odd Letters" tasks in Perl and Raku. You will find
plenty of solutions to keep you busy.
--------------
=20
TWC332
https://deadmarshal.blogspot.com/2025/07/twc332.html
=20
Both solutions are compact and idiomatic Perl, ideal for scripting and
competitive programming.
--------------
=20
An Odd Date
https://raku-musings.com/odd-date.html
=20
A technically sound and idiomatic Raku solution with solid input handling=
,
effective use of Raku=E2=80=99s expressive syntax, and clean logic.
--------------
=20
Odd last date letters, binary word list buddy
https://dev.to/boblied/pwc-331-332-odd-last-date-letters-binary-word-list=
-buddy-ib6
=20
The solutions are terse, elegant, and showcase modern Perl idioms. They
shine in clarity for those familiar with Perl 5.42+, especially with
sprintf and all.
--------------
=20
Perl Weekly Challenge: Week 332
https://www.braincells.com/perl/2025/07/perl_weekly_challenge_week_332.ht=
ml
=20
The Raku version shows off the expressive power of high-level language
features (like Bag and junctions) in a tight one-liner. The Perl version
is longer but more transparent to a general audience, especially Perl
learners.
--------------
=20
Binary Regularities
https://github.sommrey.de/the-bears-den/2025/08/01/ch-332.html
=20
A technically impressive post. Task 1 is robust and production-ready. Tas=
k
2 is a brilliant regex stunt =E2=80=94 best appreciated as a learning art=
ifact.
--------------
=20
quick and easy
https://fluca1978.github.io/2025/07/31/PerlWeeklyChallenge332.html
=20
A well-executed and educationally valuable post. It demonstrates strong
language fluency and a commitment to practical polyglot coding. Both Raku
and SQL solutions are standout examples of expressive minimalism, while
PL/Java and Python offer accessible, mainstream approaches.
--------------
=20
Perl Weekly Challenge 332
https://wlmb.github.io/2025/07/26/PWC332/
=20
is well-written, robust and idiomatic Perl. Task 1 stands out for its
thorough validation and error handling. Task 2 is concise and logically
correct.
--------------
=20
Binary + Odd =3D XOR
https://github.com/MatthiasMuth/perlweeklychallenge-club/tree/muthm-332/c=
hallenge-332/matthias-muth#readme
=20
The post is a well-structured, technically sound and Perl-fluent
exploration of the weekly challenge. It not only solves both tasks
concisely but also offers insight into language features, performance
trade-offs and idiomatic Perl practices.
--------------
=20
Oddly Binary
https://packy.dardan.com/b/ZQ
=20
Accurate and efficient solutions in Perl, Raku, Python, and Elixir.
Demonstrates strong understanding of each language=E2=80=99s syntax and s=
tandard
libraries. Clear separation of concerns and well-structured code
snippets.
--------------
=20
Base 2 dates and odd words
http://ccgi.campbellsmiths.force9.co.uk/challenge/332
=20
A strong, idiomatic Perl solution to both problems=E2=80=94optimized, cor=
rect and
pleasantly readable. This write-up reflects deep Perl familiarity and
attention to corner cases.
--------------
=20
The Weekly Challenge #332
https://hatley-software.blogspot.com/2025/07/robbie-hatleys-solutions-in-=
perl-for_29.html
=20
These are technically solid, idiomatic and well-documented. It balances
clarity, efficiency and modern Perl features effectively.
--------------
=20
Odd Date
https://blog.firedrake.org/archive/2025/08/The_Weekly_Challenge_332__Odd_=
Date.html
=20
The post delivers a compact and well-structured solution set, with a focu=
s
on language expressiveness, functional style and algorithmic clarity.
It's especially valuable for readers interested in cross-language
comparisons rather than Perl-only perspectives.
--------------
=20
I sent my date a letter
https://dev.to/simongreennet/weekly-challenge-i-sent-my-date-a-letter-1pp=
g
=20
It delivers solid, minimal and idiomatic solutions in both Python and Per=
l.
The implementations are exactly in line with typical weekly challenge
style: clean, correct and easily accessible to other coders.
--------------
=20
Hypertime
https://khanate.co.uk/weekly/332.html
=20
It is engaging, technically sound and reflects a solid grasp of Raku=E2=
