Hi!
I am not superstitious, but when a camel crosses my path ... I write about it in the Perl Weekly.
Similarly | On the other hand, I avoid celebrating birthdays of people ahead of time, but I think I can wish Perl a happy birthday already. It won't die on us in the next 2 days, will it?
The other day I was looking (again) for open source projects that are also deployed as a SaaS product (e.g MediaWiki is deployed as Wikipedia and is deployed as DEV.to. I found the awesome-selfhosted which is not the same, but might be used a good starting point. This brought me to the question, is there an awesome Perl list?
A quick search found me two: awesome-perl by hachioji.pm and awesome-perl by uhub.
Finally, the Advent calendars are still on. There are some truly awesome articles in all of them: The 2024 PDL Advent Calendar, the Perl Advent Calendar 2024, and the Raku Advent Calendar.
And one more thing, if you'd like to have your Perl event listed on our events page and listed at the bottom of the newsletter, send a Pull-Request to add it to the events.json file.
And a last thing. I started to have guests on the Code Maven live events. I'd be happy to have guests who would like to talk about some Perl-related subject. They don't have to be 'well reharsed talks', they can be just 'sit down and let me show you how to do X' things. Talk to me if you are interested.
Enjoy your week!

RECAP - The Weekly Challenge - 299
Enjoy a quick recap of last week's contributions by Team PWC dealing with the "Replace Words" and "Word Search" tasks in Perl and Raku. You will find plenty of solutions to keep you busy.
Modularised approach to get the word search task done. You have to look carefully to get to the bottom. Keep it up great work.
Nothing But Words
Keeping it simple with multi layered for loops. Plenty of information presented too. Great work.
Search and Replace
Regex in action, brave heart. Loved it. Thanks for sharing knowledge with us every week.

PDL and matrix, what a deadly combination. Cool work to show the power of PDL. Well done.
Words, words and more words
One-liner from Peter? Yes, you heard me correctly. Don't forget to DIY. Brilliant work.
