Hi there How old is the Perl code that you work on currently? Curtis wrote an interesting blog post talking about dealing with legacy code. After a long time, I got the opportunity to work with good old CGI. It reminds me of my early learning days. Talking about CGI, I came across fun blog post talking about Migrating a Perl CGI application to AWS Lambda. Please do share anything interesting you are trying using Perl. I am currently working on Elastic Search using Perl. As always CPAN provides great support e.g. Search::Elasticsearch. What else changed in your routine? For me, the school run is back. How about you? Enjoy the rest of the newsletter. Hopefully next week we will have more perl blog posts. Mohammad Sajid Anwar |

by Mohammad Sajid Anwar (MANWAR) Enjoy a quick recap of last week's contributions by Team PWC dealing with the "Maximum Sub-Matrix" and "Minimum Platforms" tasks in Perl and Raku. You will find plenty of solutions to keep you busy. |
|
|
by Abigail Nice demo of code reuse. I didn't realise, to be honest, that it was somewhat a repeat of a past task. |
|
by Abigail A very special solution to the Minimum Platform task as you get to see the Abigail magic once again. Thanks for sharing the knowledge. |
|
by Arne Sommer A cool example of a Raku class. Great demo of Raku best practices. Keep it up. |
|
by Cheok-Yin Fung A very special presentation of the Minimum Platform task, complete with unit tests. Great job. |
|
by Dave Jacoby (JACOBY) Well documented solution, as always, with edge cases as well. A complete solution. Thanks. | 
|
|
by Flavio Poletti (POLETTIX) Flavio once again shares bonus Raku magic along with Perl. You don't want to miss it. |
|
|
by Flavio Poletti (POLETTIX) Flavio went into the finer details of the Minimum Platforms task. I wonder at times, how did I miss the point. |
|
|
by James Smith James' genomic approach to the Minimum Platform tssk is really cool. There is plenty to learn from his work. Thanks for sharing. |
|
by Luca Ferrari Luca also used a Raku class to solve the Minimum Platform task. I just love it. Keep it up. |
|
by W Luis Mochan The best part of Luis' blog post is the use of PDL. Cool promotion of PDL. Thanks for sharing. |
|
by Roger Bell West (FIREDRAKE) Roger's style of inline document is very useful to follow the code. Thanks for sharing. |
|
by Simon Green Simon broke the task into smaller actions giving us clear instructions to read the code. Always pleasure to read his blog. |
