Yet another OOP framework, where most of your constructors and accessors will be implemented in XS.

by Robert Acock

A comprehensive guide to building modern, secure, real-time web applications with Perl and vanilla JavaScript.

by Michael Daum

We are delighted to announce the new release, which includes 57 significant bug fixes compared to the previous 2.1.8 version. This update addresses a range of important issues and enhances the overall stability and performance.

During the holidays, on December 26, there is still an online Perl event to encourage more people to contribute to open source Perl projects. You are invited!

by Saif Uddin Ahmed (SAIFTYNET)

This post is primarily a philosophical essay. Saif uses a fictional dialogue to express skepticism about over-reliance on AI and "dispassionate algorithms," particularly in fields like medicine that traditionally value human judgment and compassion.

by Mark Overmeer (markov)

This is a high-quality project maintenance post from Mark. It provides valuable insight into the pragmatic considerations of modernising a massive, real-world Perl codebase—decisions about language versions, exception frameworks, and managing breaking changes.

This is fun index and not to be taken seriously. Perl has +1.33% increase and currently ranked #9.

by Blabos de Blebe

This is an insightful, practical tutorial that presents a clever and elegant pattern for integration testing in Mojolicious. It demonstrates a sophisticated understanding of the Mojolicious ecosystem and provides a viable alternative to the more common approach of mocking HTTP user agents.

by José Joaquín Atria

The post introduces a new experimental approach for automatically generating OpenTelemetry traces for Perl code. The traditional options are either 1) use a pre-built instrumentation library, 2) write a custom instrumentation library (hard), or 3) manually instrument your code (tedious). This module offers a fourth, automated path: dynamically instrumenting Perl modules at runtime without modifying their source code.

by Paul Johnson (PJCJ)

This narrative post is a superb piece of technical communication. It successfully argues that adopting a modern OO framework like Moose isn't about "cool new features" for their own sake, but about practical engineering benefits: safer refactoring, better testing, and more maintainable code.

App::Transpierce is a Perl-based command-line utility for managing configuration changes on production systems. Its core philosophy is to provide a structured, safe workflow for emergency "hotfixes" where direct editing on a live server is unavoidable.

by Philippe Bruhat (BOOK)

This is a well-conceived and thoughtfully launched community project. The post successfully makes the case for the podcast's existence by grounding it in the Phileppe's genuine passion and a clear, unmet need for recorded oral history within the Perl ecosystem.

by Michael Schröder

The primary coverage of the talk concerns SUSE's openQA and the Open Build Service. These both lean heavily on Perl and are tools that you may find useful in your own work.

by Branislav Zahradnik

The article is a well-crafted narrative that argues readable code is an act of empathy and professionalism, not just a stylistic preference. It stands out by framing technical advice within a memorable story (the elves at the Present Delivery Network), making the concepts more engaging than a dry style guide.

Welcome to a new week with a couple of fun tasks "Max Words" and "Validate Coupon". If you are new to the weekly challenge then why not join us and have fun every week. For more information, please read the FAQ.

by Mohammad Sajid Anwar (MANWAR)

Enjoy a quick recap of last week's contributions by Team PWC dealing with the "Match String" and "Binary Prefix" tasks in Perl and Raku. You will find plenty of solutions to keep you busy.

by Ali Moradi

Overall solid solutions with correct logic. Task2 is particularly well-implemented. The code demonstrates good Perl idioms and problem-solving skills.

by Arne Sommer

Arne Sommer presents Raku solutions to the weekly challenge #352, demonstrating both practical implementations and exploratory algorithmic thinking. It is worth reading for Raku learners and those interested in different approaches to these challenges.

by Bob Lied

Solves the problem correctly, efficiently, and readably. Suitable for Perl beginners to intermediate programmers.

by Jaldhar H. Vyas

Excellent solutions with clear explanations! Your approach shows good understanding of both Raku and Perl idioms.

by Jorg Sommrey

This is an excellent and sophisticated technical write-up. It goes beyond simply providing answers by delving into algorithmic logic, implementing solutions in multiple languages (Perl and J), and including high-quality visual aids for understanding complex array operations.

by Luca Ferrari

Impressive polyglot implementation - 5 languages plus SQL variants. Consistent algorithm approach across languages. Good use of language-specific features. Clear code structure and organization

by W Luis Mochan

This is competition-level algorithmic thinking combined with production-quality code. Truly impressive work!

by Packy Anderson (PACKY)

This is a solid and practical solution guide for Perl Weekly Challenge #352. Its primary strength lies in the Packy's exploration of the same solution logic across four different programming languages (Raku, Perl, Python, Elixir), providing excellent comparative value for polyglot programmers.

by Peter Campbell Smith

The solutions are not just correct, but thoughtfully optimized and well-engineered. Clear documentation of design decisions.

by Robbie Hatley

This post presents a functional but simplistic approach to solving the two challenges.

by Roger Bell West (FIREDRAKE)

This is excellent work from a clearly experienced developer. The solutions are clean, maintainable code. Roger demonstrates strong algorithmic thinking and practical implementation skills.

by Simon Green

This is a solid, practical implementation of coding challenges that correctly solves the problems. Simon demonstrates good programming fundamentals and language knowledge.

by Yitzchak Scott-Thoennes

This solution demonstrates expert-level understanding of formal language theory and automata. This is PhD-level computer science applied to a coding challenge.
