Hi there What an honour to present the 500th edition of the Perl Weekly newsletter. Thank you Gabor Szabo. Let's begin the week with the good news, rt.cpan.org is staying. You can find more details here. Andrew Shitov raised an issue with regard to creating separate entity - "The Raku Foundation". Feel free to share your views on the subject. Did you know Cor has been given a new name, Corinna? Curtis Poe recently requested the general public to share their views about Corinna being in the Perl core. Please do checkout the wiki page This week, we celebrated the 100th week of The Weekly Challenge. I even created YouTube Video to thank Team PWC for their support and encouragements. After a long time, I finally got the opportunity to try Pair Programming thanks to my friend, Julien Fiegehenn. We spent an hour and half and got MooX::Clone released to CPAN in the end. It all started when I was working on my latest project Design Patterns using Modern Perl, more specifically, Prototype Design Pattern where I was looking for a clean interface to create a clone of Moo object. Zum ersten Mal teilen wir Blogs in nicht-englischer Sprache. Ich hoffe es würde unseren deutschen Lesern gefallen. Enjoy the rest of the newsletter. Mohammad Sajid Anwar |

by Mohammad Sajid Anwar (MANWAR) Enjoy a quick recap of last week's contributions by Team PWC dealing with the "Fun Time" and "Triangle Sum" tasks in Perl and Raku. You will find plenty of solutions to keep you busy. |
|
|
by Aaron Smith Aaron is becoming a master of the one-liner in Perl. It is always fun to decode his code. |
|
by Abigail Abigail's use of map to read the input numbers is interesting. |
|
|
by Arne Sommer As always, Arne's blog post is full of Raku tricks. You don't want to miss it. |
|
by Colin Crain Colin uses modulo to solve the fun time task; a very different approach. |
|
by Dave Jacoby (JACOBY) Dave's contribution is always verbose and his blog posts explain every minute detail. | 
|
|
|
by Flavio Poletti (POLETTIX) I enjoy the story behind the solution. The solution itself is so trivial. |
|
|
by James Smith James turned out to be a big fan of Perl one-liners. I loved his code. |
|
by Laurent Rosenfeld Laurent's modular approach is always very elegant. Thanks for sharing. |
|
by Roger Bell West (FIREDRAKE) It is pretty evident that Roger doesn't like Perl one-liners. He came up with detailed solution as always. |
|
by Simon Green Simon came up with a cryptic one-liner. Decoding one-liners is always fun. |

The corner of Gabor
A couple of entries sneaked in by Gabor.
|
by Gabor Szabo (SZABGAB) Some of the distributions on CPAN are marked as 'looking for maintainer'. Test::Class displayed this message, so I asked for it and became the maintainer of that module. Then came the question, how can I remove the notifiaction about the need for a maintainer. In this video you will see how to add this explanation to the FAQ of MetaCPAN and then how to add a link from the notification banner to this entry in the FAQ. |
|
|
by Gabor Szabo (SZABGAB) FErki taught me a few things about Rex and now we are planning a live session in which he is going to teach me a lot more. Follow my Twitch channel to get notified. |

The client is interested in anyone with experience building web apps in Perl, using one of the major Perl frameworks. If you’re a crack-hand with Catalyst, a Mojolicious master, or a distinguished Dance, they want you. You’ll be deploying apps your work to AWS, so experience would be handy, and the company’s big on testing, so they’d like you to know your way around Test::More. |

Looking for Perl developers with a strong background in Modern Perl – you should be comfortable with Moose and PSGI/Plack, and a solid grounding in using Perl’s testing tools.

Not all jobs are created equal. Sure, most pay the bills, but some do more. They impart a sense of purpose; when you log out at day’s end, it’s with the satisfaction that you are part of something bigger, something more important than yourself. You’ve left the world a little better than you found it, and isn’t that what life is really about? |
