Perl Weekly=20
https://perlweekly.com/
You can read the newsletter on the web, if you prefer.
https://perlweekly.com/archive/753.html
Hi there!
There was not a lot of action this week, but I had a live session on
contributing to a Perl project and then another one contributing to a
Python project. There were more guests at the Python event, but we were
more productive during the Perl event. Partially as the packaging and
dependency management system of Perl is more standardized than that of
Python. Who would have thought :-)
I've scheduled a new event to contribute to a Perl module (
https://luma.com/perl-maven ). I really hope that these sessions will
encourage more people to start contributing. First relatively small things
and then as we run out of the smaller things we can work on more difficult
tasks.
If you are looking for a New Year's resolution here is a challenge: Make
one contribution to an open source project every week! At the last event I
organized we sent 4 Pull-Request in 1.5 hour. If you have not contributed
yet then at first it might take a bit longer for you, but with some
practice you can make some contribution within an hour. So one hour every
week for the next 52 weeks. Here is an issue on GitHub (
https://github.com/szabgab/perlweekly/issues/633 ) where you can mention
your work. That will help all of us to keep doing it.
Oh and if you are looking to explore new, web-related development in the
Perl ecosystem, I'd suggest you take a serious look at PAGI (
https://dev.to/jjn1056/perl-pagi-project-update-2n2p )
Enjoy your week and have a healthy and fruitful New Year!

New App. OPC-UA Pipe Gateway
https://www.leader.it/Portal/OpcUApipeGateway
=20
opcua_pipe_gateway is an OPC-UA client that allows reading and writing
OPC-UA variables via command line interface, using STDIN for commands and
STDOUT for results. The application is available in two implementations:
a Perl version (opcua_pipe_gateway.pl) and a Python version
(opcua_pipe_gateway.py).

Supercharge Event Loops with Thread::Subs
https://blogs.perl.org/users/tfbw/2025/12/supercharge-event-loops-with-th=
readsubs.html
=20
There are two issues with event loop coding, related to the need to
maintain an asynchronous, non-blocking style: It's harder to write and
maintain than linear, blocking code. Despite all the asynchronous
behaviour, it's still single threaded.

text files from NOAA, I thought it would be nice for my weather proxy
server to handle that. Hence I developed NOAA::Aurora and released it to

Perl PAGI Project Update
https://dev.to/jjn1056/perl-pagi-project-update-2n2p
=20
PAGI (Perl Asynchronous Gateway Interface) is a new web specification and
reference server for Perl, designed to bring first-class async/await
support to web development. Think of it as Perl's answer to Python's ASGI
- a modern foundation for WebSocket, Server-Sent Events, and HTTP
applications using Future and Future::AsyncAwait syntax.

RECAP - The Weekly Challenge - 353
https://theweeklychallenge.org/blog/recap-challenge-353
=20
Enjoy a quick recap of last week's contributions by Team PWC dealing with
the "Max Words" and "Validate Coupon" tasks in Perl and Raku. You will
find plenty of solutions to keep you busy.
--------------
=20
Max Validate
https://raku-musings.com/max-validate.html
=20
The blog post provides high-quality, idiomatic Raku code. It successfully
solves the programming challenges while acting as an effective
demonstration of Raku's expressiveness and unique programming paradigms.
The solutions are practical, well-explained, and ready for use.
--------------
=20
To each (array) his own
https://dev.to/boblied/pwc-353-to-each-array-his-own-23o8
=20
Bob Lied's solutions represent high-quality, thoughtful Perl programming
that balances elegance, performance, and maintainability. The dual
implementation approach for Task 2 with accompanying benchmarks shows a
deep understanding of Perl's performance characteristics.
--------------

Perl Weekly Challenge: Week 353
https://www.braincells.com/perl/2025/12/perl_weekly_challenge_week_353.ht=
ml
=20
Jaldhar provides concise, one-liner-inspired solutions for both challenge=
s,
with a focus on achieving the result in a single line of code for Raku
and a similar spirit for Perl.
--------------
=20
waiting for Santa...
https://fluca1978.github.io/2025/12/24/PerlWeeklyChallenge353.html
=20
The primary strength is demonstrating the same logic implemented
idiomatically across very different paradigms. This is highly
educational. The solutions are not overly golfed.
--------------
=20
Perl Weekly Challenge 353
https://wlmb.github.io/2025/12/22/PWC353/
=20
Solutions are technically impressive, highly original, and demonstrate
expert-level Perl mastery. The functional style, robust error handling,
and sophisticated use of zip make these solutions outstanding from an
engineering perspective.
--------------
=20
Validate to the Max
https://github.com/MatthiasMuth/perlweeklychallenge-club/tree/muthm-353/c=
hallenge-353/matthias-muth#readme
=20
Matthias provides exceptionally well-considered and pedagogically rich
solutions that focus heavily on code design, readability, and the
thoughtful evaluation of Perl idioms, TIMTOWTDI. Solutions are
characterised by a deliberate choice of clarity and maintainability over
mere conciseness, backed by explicit reasoning.
--------------
=20
Ok, swing code=E2=80=A6 SWING!
https://packy.dardan.com/b/g4
=20
Packy's core philosophy is to solve the problem once, then port the
functional, pipeline-based logic to other languages. This results in
consistent, readable, and idiomatic solutions across the board.
--------------
=20
Words and shopping
http://ccgi.campbellsmiths.force9.co.uk/challenge/353
=20
Peter's solutions are methodically crafted, resembling production-grade
scripts one might write for a business system. The code is not
minimalistic but is instead self-contained, well-documented, and robust,
with a focus on teachable insights.
--------------
=20
The Weekly Challenge #353
https://hatley-software.blogspot.com/2025/12/robbie-hatleys-solutions-in-=
perl-for_24.html
=20
The post presents a detailed plan or pseudocode for solving the problems
before showing the final code. The solutions follow a direct, procedural
style in Perl. They are correct but emphasize a straightforward
implementation over brevity or exploring advanced language features.
--------------
=20
Max Validation
https://blog.firedrake.org/archive/2025/12/The_Weekly_Challenge_353__Max_=
Validation.html
=20
Roger provides a brief and focused look at the challenges for blog post,
solving them efficiently in JavaScript and Raku. The solutions prioritize
solving the problem directly over extensive commentary. Solutions are
technically proficient, concise, and modern.
--------------
=20
Validating Words
https://dev.to/simongreennet/weekly-challenge-validating-words-kj7
=20
Simon implements both tasks using straightforward, loop-based logic that
prioritizes clarity and correct input handling. The solutions are
methodical and include explicit checks for edge cases.

New App. OPC-UA Pipe Gateway
https://www.leader.it/Portal/OpcUApipeGateway
=20
opcua_pipe_gateway is an OPC-UA client that allows reading and writing
OPC-UA variables via command line interface, using STDIN for commands and
STDOUT for results. The application is available in two implementations:
a Perl version (opcua_pipe_gateway.pl) and a Python version
(opcua_pipe_gateway.py).

Supercharge Event Loops with Thread::Subs
https://blogs.perl.org/users/tfbw/2025/12/supercharge-event-loops-with-th=
readsubs.html
=20
There are two issues with event loop coding, related to the need to
maintain an asynchronous, non-blocking style: It's harder to write and
maintain than linear, blocking code. Despite all the asynchronous
behaviour, it's still single threaded.

is
it used?

Dimitrios writes: "With the current solar maximum, I wanted to add aurora
forecasting features to my iOS weather app, Xasteria. Instead of fetching
text files from NOAA, I thought it would be nice for my weather proxy
server to handle that. Hence I developed NOAA::Aurora and released it to
CPAN."

Perl PAGI Project Update
https://dev.to/jjn1056/perl-pagi-project-update-2n2p
=20
PAGI (Perl Asynchronous Gateway Interface) is a new web specification and
reference server for Perl, designed to bring first-class async/await
support to web development. Think of it as Perl's answer to Python's ASGI
- a modern foundation for WebSocket, Server-Sent Events, and HTTP
applications using Future and Future::AsyncAwait syntax.

RECAP - The Weekly Challenge - 353
https://theweeklychallenge.org/blog/recap-challenge-353
=20
Enjoy a quick recap of last week's contributions by Team PWC dealing with
the "Max Words" and "Validate Coupon" tasks in Perl and Raku. You will
find plenty of solutions to keep you busy.
--------------
=20
Max Validate
https://raku-musings.com/max-validate.html
=20
The blog post provides high-quality, idiomatic Raku code. It successfully
solves the programming challenges while acting as an effective
demonstration of Raku's expressiveness and unique programming paradigms.
The solutions are practical, well-explained, and ready for use.
--------------
=20
To each (array) his own
https://dev.to/boblied/pwc-353-to-each-array-his-own-23o8
=20
Bob Lied's solutions represent high-quality, thoughtful Perl programming
that balances elegance, performance, and maintainability. The dual
implementation approach for Task 2 with accompanying benchmarks shows a
deep understanding of Perl's performance characteristics.

=20
Jaldhar provides concise, one-liner-inspired solutions for both challenge=
s,
with a focus on achieving the result in a single line of code for Raku
and a similar spirit for Perl.
--------------
=20
waiting for Santa...
https://fluca1978.github.io/2025/12/24/PerlWeeklyChallenge353.html
=20
The primary strength is demonstrating the same logic implemented
idiomatically across very different paradigms. This is highly
educational. The solutions are not overly golfed.
--------------
=20
Perl Weekly Challenge 353
https://wlmb.github.io/2025/12/22/PWC353/
=20
Solutions are technically impressive, highly original, and demonstrate
expert-level Perl mastery. The functional style, robust error handling,
and sophisticated use of zip make these solutions outstanding from an
engineering perspective.
--------------
=20
Validate to the Max
https://github.com/MatthiasMuth/perlweeklychallenge-club/tree/muthm-353/c=
hallenge-353/matthias-muth#readme
=20
Matthias provides exceptionally well-considered and pedagogically rich
solutions that focus heavily on code design, readability, and the
thoughtful evaluation of Perl idioms, TIMTOWTDI. Solutions are
characterised by a deliberate choice of clarity and maintainability over
mere conciseness, backed by explicit reasoning.
--------------
=20
Ok, swing code=E2=80=A6 SWING!
https://packy.dardan.com/b/g4
=20
Packy's core philosophy is to solve the problem once, then port the
functional, pipeline-based logic to other languages. This results in
consistent, readable, and idiomatic solutions across the board.
--------------
=20
Words and shopping
http://ccgi.campbellsmiths.force9.co.uk/challenge/353
=20
Peter's solutions are methodically crafted, resembling production-grade
scripts one might write for a business system. The code is not
minimalistic but is instead self-contained, well-documented, and robust,
with a focus on teachable insights.
--------------
=20
The Weekly Challenge #353
https://hatley-software.blogspot.com/2025/12/robbie-hatleys-solutions-in-=
perl-for_24.html
=20
The post presents a detailed plan or pseudocode for solving the problems
before showing the final code. The solutions follow a direct, procedural
style in Perl. They are correct but emphasize a straightforward
implementation over brevity or exploring advanced language features.
--------------
=20
Max Validation
https://blog.firedrake.org/archive/2025/12/The_Weekly_Challenge_353__Max_=
Validation.html
=20
Roger provides a brief and focused look at the challenges for blog post,
solving them efficiently in JavaScript and Raku. The solutions prioritize
solving the problem directly over extensive commentary. Solutions are
technically proficient, concise, and modern.
--------------
=20
Validating Words
https://dev.to/simongreennet/weekly-challenge-validating-words-kj7
=20
Simon implements both tasks using straightforward, loop-based logic that
prioritizes clarity and correct input handling. The solutions are
methodical and include explicit checks for edge cases.

Hi there!
=20
There was not a lot of action this week, but I had a live session o=
n contributing to a Perl project and then another one contributing to a Pyt=
hon project. There were more guests at the Python event, but we were more p=
roductive during the Perl event. Partially as the packaging and dependency =
management system of Perl is more standardized than that of Python. Who wou=
ld have thought :-)
=20
I've scheduled a new event =
to contribute to a Perl module. I really hope that these sessions will =
encourage more people to start contributing. First relatively small things =
and then as we run out of the smaller things we can work on more difficult =
tasks.
=20
If you are looking for a New Year's resolution here is a challenge:=
Make one contribution to an open source project every week! At the last ev=
ent I organized we sent 4 Pull-Request in 1.5 hour. If you have not contrib=
uted yet then at first it might take a bit longer for you, but with some pr=
actice you can make some contribution within an hour. So one hour every wee=
k for the next 52 weeks. Here is an erlweekly/issues/633">issue on GitHub where you can mention your work. =
That will help all of us to keep doing it.
=20
Oh and if you are looking to explore new, web-related development i=
n the Perl ecosystem, I'd suggest you take a serious look at ps://dev.to/jjn1056/perl-pagi-project-update-2n2p">PAGI
=20
Enjoy your week and have a healthy and fruitful New Year!
