Hi there,
I remember the release of Catalyst, MVC web application framework in 2005. It was the first time, I heard about MVC. Unfortunately, I never got to work with it until I joined my current work place. We have very well crafted application

I only remember server-side PerlScript, but then again, I don't remember what I had for breakfast either. In any case, cute explanation of what could have been an alternate reality.
While this article talks about the new features of Python, it includes excellent pointers to existing features of Perl. My personal issue is echoed in the final assessment of the article. Python developers used to make fun of the Perl motto TIMTOWDI, and …

In this post, you will find an amazing technical analysis of Perl Weekly Challenge #382, with valuable insights based on a complex multi-language approach including not only Raku but also Scala. This particular post stands out from the crowd due to the fa…
In this article, you will see a clear and straightforward solution for Task 2 of Perl Weekly Challenge #382. Reinier has perfectly delivered the main idea of the task - generating all binary combinations to replace the question marks in a very simple mann…
20 Jul
The article talks about Perl Weekly Challenge #382 in great detail, being proposed by the same person who initially proposed Hamiltonian Cycle to the community. The write-up provides historical perspective on the problem while introducing a rather ingenio…
This article presents an incredibly imaginative technical analysis of the Perl Weekly Challenge #382 by the fantastic use of the inversion of an algorithm. Rather than going through all the remaining values to find their sums as squares, Packy cycles thro…
