Hi there, Finally we have yet another feature packed release Perl v5.36, thanks to the entire team involved. Do you want to know all about the latest release? If yes then please refer to the official page for more informations. The very first question comes to our mind after the Perl v5.36 release is What happened to v7? The Perl Steering Council (PSC) came up with the detailed response about everything including v7 in the official blog page. I have been closely following the development of Modern OO in core Perl i.e. Corinna. I am now looking forward to the next release i.e. Perl v5.38, which is likely to introduce Corinna. So the next question, how long is the wait? I am told, we can expect it in about a year time from now. To be honest, I am happy to wait. Together with v7 and Corinna, I am confident it would bring fresh air and positive energy among the community. I would urge everyone, please don't loose hope and stay strong together. I am running daily Perl feature post sharing the bits that I didn't know before or never used before. It goes back to Perl v5.10. It has brought back Perl to the discussion table. I have learnt a lot of edge cases about each feature by many experts on various social platforms e.g. Facebook Groups like Perl Community and Perl Programmers. If you are active on Twitter then you can follow the Perl feature post on my personal twitter handle. If you are interested in the past feature post then you can take a look at my dedicated GitHub repository. If you have suggestions to improve then please feel free to submit pull request. We are having week off from school duty as it is school holiday time. Double that up with Queen's Jubilee celebration, wow. 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 "Hexadecimal Words" and "K-Directory Diff" tasks in Perl and Raku. You will find plenty of solutions to keep you busy. |
|
|
by Arne Sommer Setting up directory for the task using bash is a smart move. On top of that you get regular Raku magic. |
|
by Dave Jacoby (JACOBY) For me, the main attraction was the discussion about playing with numbers. You don't want to miss the solutions in Perl. | 
|
|
