Perl Weekly=20

You can read the newsletter on the web, if you prefer.
https://perlweekly.com/archive/737.html
Hi there!
There is a new episode of Underbar, the Perlish podcast, part 3 of the
Vibe-coding with Perl series came out, and there is an article whether one
should learn Perl in 2025.
Regarding that. My son became a programmer a while ago mostly writing in
Python and some fron-end stuff when necessary. He also knows how to use vim
and he is definitely not lost on the Linux command-line. I don't think
there is a lot of value for him to learn Perl in general, but being able to
write one-liner to help with various small tasks could be really usefule.
So I started to put together a bunch of oneliners in Perl and converted it
into a book. It is still only in its infancy, but to go with the tradition
I decided to release early.
Thus you can already read it for free ( https://perlmaven.com/oneliners/ )
or if you'd like to also support my efforts then you can buy an epub/pdf
version of it via Leanpub ( https://leanpub.com/oneliners/ ). You can even
pick the price.
Enjoy the book and enjoy your week!

RECAP - The Weekly Challenge - 337
https://theweeklychallenge.org/blog/recap-challenge-337
=20
Enjoy a quick recap of last week's contributions by Team PWC dealing with
the "Smaller Than Current" and "Odd Matrix" tasks in Perl and Raku. You
will find plenty of solutions to keep you busy.
--------------
=20
TWC337
https://deadmarshal.blogspot.com/2025/09/twc337.html
=20
This is a solid, practical and highly efficient blog post that showcases =
a
competitive programming mindset. The approach is characterized by a focus
on performance, concise code and leveraging the powerful built-in
functions of Perl.
--------------
=20
Oddly Current
https://raku-musings.com/oddly-current.html
=20
This is a high-quality, technically sound blog post that perfectly
exemplifies the spirit of Raku programming. It successfully demonstrates
how to tackle a classic algorithmic problem (Eulerian Circuits) by
leveraging Raku's unique and powerful features, such as its sophisticated
grammar (regex) engine and functional programming constructs.

I Never Go Far Without A Little Big Star
https://jacoby-lpwk.onrender.com/2025/09/05/i-never-go-far-without-a-litt=
le-big-star-weekly-challenge-337.html
=20
This post is a well-written, technically sound and engaging exploration o=
f
two weekly code challenges in Perl. Overall, it's a solid contribution
that balances clarity, correctness and style.
--------------
=20
Smaller Oddities
https://github.sommrey.de/the-bears-den/2025/09/05/ch-337.html
=20
Both tasks move beyond naive solutions to offer significantly more scalab=
le
alternatives. The use of sorting, indexing, and run-length encoding
reflects expert-level proficiency in PDL. Despite the technical depth,
the code remains compact and well-organized.
--------------
=20
Perl Weekly Challenge 337
https://wlmb.github.io/2025/08/31/PWC337/
=20
Solutions are elegant, efficient (thanks to PDL), and provide precise
results. They shine when used in a context where PDL is acceptable.
--------------
=20
Small Numbers, and No Matrix at All
https://github.com/MatthiasMuth/perlweeklychallenge-club/tree/muthm-337/c=
hallenge-337/matthias-muth#readme
=20
Both tasks avoid brute-force solutions in favor of counting, sorting, and
parity logic. Code is concise, modern, and idiomatic Perl. Commentary is
pedagogical, explains not only the "how" but also the "why".
--------------
=20
Small, but Oddly Current
https://packy.dardan.com/b/aR
=20
This is an exceptionally well-written and insightful post. It successfull=
y
transcends a simple "how I solved these coding puzzles" write-up and
instead delivers a compelling narrative about the enduring relevance of
Perl, the value of community-driven challenges and the universal benefits
of sharpening one's problem-solving skills with constrained tools.
--------------
=20
One and two dimensions
http://ccgi.campbellsmiths.force9.co.uk/pwc/challenge/337
=20
Solutions are clear, idiomatic Perl, well explained and great for
educational/demo purposes. They emphasize readability and correctness
over raw efficiency, which is often the right trade-off in The Weekly
Challenge.
--------------
=20
The Weekly Challenge #337
https://hatley-software.blogspot.com/2025/09/robbie-hatleys-solutions-in-=
perl-for.html
=20
The solutions are excellent. They are correct, efficient, readable and
well-structured. The post has a clear, pragmatic coding style that
focuses on simplicity and directly solving the problem at hand. The code
is thoroughly documented and follows good practices. This is
production-quality code for this type of algorithmic problem.
--------------
=20
The Odd Current
https://blog.firedrake.org/archive/2025/09/The_Weekly_Challenge_337__The_=
Odd_Current.html
=20
The post is a masterclass in technical writing and scientific computing. =
It
successfully transforms a seemingly simple programming challenge into a
deep, insightful exploration of numerical methods and performance
optimization.
--------------
=20
Oddly small
https://dev.to/simongreennet/weekly-challenge-oddly-small-1g9o
=20
This is a well-written, engaging and technically sound solution to a codi=
ng
challenge. It stands out by focusing on clarity, educational value and
algorithmic elegance rather than just brute-forcing an answer.

Smaller Oddities
https://github.sommrey.de/the-bears-den/2025/09/05/ch-337.html
=20
Both tasks move beyond naive solutions to offer significantly more scalab=
le
alternatives. The use of sorting, indexing, and run-length encoding
reflects expert-level proficiency in PDL. Despite the technical depth,
the code remains compact and well-organized.
--------------
=20
Perl Weekly Challenge 337
https://wlmb.github.io/2025/08/31/PWC337/
=20
Solutions are elegant, efficient (thanks to PDL), and provide precise
results. They shine when used in a context where PDL is acceptable.

=20
Small Numbers, and No Matrix at All
https://github.com/MatthiasMuth/perlweeklychallenge-club/tree/muthm-337/c=
hallenge-337/matthias-muth#readme
=20
Both tasks avoid brute-force solutions in favor of counting, sorting, and
parity logic. Code is concise, modern, and idiomatic Perl. Commentary is
pedagogical, explains not only the "how" but also the "why".

Small, but Oddly Current
https://packy.dardan.com/b/aR
=20
This is an exceptionally well-written and insightful post. It successfull=

transcends a simple "how I solved these coding puzzles" write-up and
instead delivers a compelling narrative about the enduring relevance of
Perl, the value of community-driven challenges and the universal benefits
of sharpening one's problem-solving skills with constrained tools.
--------------
=20
One and two dimensions
http://ccgi.campbellsmiths.force9.co.uk/pwc/challenge/337
=20
Solutions are clear, idiomatic Perl, well explained and great for
educational/demo purposes. They emphasize readability and correctness
over raw efficiency, which is often the right trade-off in The Weekly
Challenge.

=20
The solutions are excellent. They are correct, efficient, readable and
well-structured. The post has a clear, pragmatic coding style that
focuses on simplicity and directly solving the problem at hand. The code
is thoroughly documented and follows good practices. This is
production-quality code for this type of algorithmic problem.

Hi there!
=20
There is a new episode of Underbar, the Perlish podcast, part 3 of =
the Vibe-coding with Perl series came out, and there is an article whether =
one should learn Perl in 2025.
=20
Regarding that. My son became a programmer a while ago mostly writi=
ng in Python and some fron-end stuff when necessary. He also knows how to u=
se vim and he is definitely not lost on the Linux command-line. I don't thi=
nk there is a lot of value for him to learn Perl in general, but being able=
to write one-liner to help with various small tasks could be really useful=
e. So I started to put together a bunch of oneliners in Perl and converted =
it into a book. It is still only in its infancy, but to go with the traditi=
on I decided to release early.
=20
Thus you can already r=
ead it for free or if you'd like to also support my efforts then you ca=
n buy an epub/pdf version of it via s/">Leanpub. You can even pick the price.
=20
Enjoy the book and enjoy your week!
