  A clear, useful Perl implementation that uses simple, readable code to accurately address both issues. Vinod exhibits solid Perl foundations and a pragmatic approach to problem-solving.
• 2026.01.25 in #757 Kaprekar Steps & Ordered Fractions
  The Kaprekar steps and unique ordered fractions problems are two challenging problems; the author has provided a short list of Perl-based, well-considered solutions to handling leading zeroes, digit sorting, finding loops and sequence detection, and performing value-based ordering of fractions with duplicate removal. These solutions outline the steps taken and lessons learned while approaching each problem.

  The main factor separating this solution from others is its pedagogical quality, not the code itself. The explanation of how the algorithms (digit validation, ASCII rotation) work is clear, and demonstrates Perl's suitability for these types of tasks. Additionally, this solution emphasizes the importance of writing testable code, which provides valuable insight.
