During the London Perl Workshop 2024, I heard the whispers about the proposal of change in version but no details were available at the time to my knowledge. Before I talk about it, let me share this GitHub repository for . A big round of applause to Aristotle Pagaltzis for such a detailed document that dives into the finer points. You must checkout the document yourself, in case I missed any important bits. As far as my understandings, in the next Perl stable release the Perl version would be 42.0.

Enjoy a quick recap of last week's contributions by Team PWC dealing with the "String Compression" and "Matchstick Square" tasks in Perl and Raku. You will find plenty of solutions to keep you busy.
A very simple and straight forward approach without any magic, rare occassion. With lots of discussion around it, would keep you busy.
Raku magical multi-dispatch feature in play this week on top of serious regex in action. Highly recommended.
Ideal challenge for the master of one-liners in Perl and you nailed it. Coolest one.
