No Daner workshop, but two talks by Dave.

Oh I did not know Time::Local uses heuristics (aka. guess) to determine what is the year. Nor that it can handle 2-digit years further perpetuating the Y2K (Year 2000) problem. You always learn something strange.

If you have not read the story of Mohammad S. Anwar, I'd recommend you read that page.

Review of last week challenge. There are plenty of great solutions.

by Adam Russell

Adam literaly converted the task spec into perl subroutine. It can't be any simpler. Great use of Parse::Yapp, I must confess it took me long to get my head around.

by Arne Sommer

Arne used multisubs to solve the Ackermann function. He then used Perl6 Grammar to solve URL parser task. Great blog to read.

by Dave Jacoby (JACOBY)

Dave solved the Ackermann function with Memoize. He also show how Mojo::URL can be used to parse URL. Nice writings.

by E. Choroba (CHOROBA)

Choroba introduced Erlang while working on Ackermann function. He always find some new distribution from CPAN to solve the task. This time, he used URI::URL to solve URL parser task. Great learning experience.

by Francis Whittle

Francis showed how to caching can be used with Perl6 to solve the Ackermann function. Perl6 lover would find the Grammar based solution to URL parser task very informative.

by Jaldhar H. Vyas

Jaldhar blog is ever so informative. You must check out.

by Laurent Rosenfeld

You must checkout Perl6 solution of Ackermann function task. Even if you don't know Perl6, you can still enjoy it.

by Veesh Goldman

Veesh use of Mojo::URL for URL parser task looks so simple yet elegant. He also show how bigint can help in the Ackermann function task.

by Yozen Hernandez

Yozen dedicates a blog for each task and I am loving it. You get to learn so much about each task.
