Originally published at of perl5-porters. You get all the latest update straight in your inbox. This is where I found out, the v5.44 would be out end of next month if everything goes as per the plan. I get excited during this time of the year to see what is new added to the core class feature. I am still waiting for the support of creating roles. I am also aware there are other high priority features in the list. No pressure to Paul Evans and his team, we are happy to see the progress in the language under your guidance.
Well you don't have to wait for the big release to get your hand dirty. For me, I am busy exploring things like , . There are plenty in the pipelines too.
If you are looking for something new then you should check this out, , thanks to JJ Atria. It's going in my TODO list. One day, I will take a closer look.
Web development in Perl has seen it all since the CGI Era (1990s). First came PSGI/Plack, the middleware revolution, followed by the rise of frameworks like Catalyst, Dancer2 and Mojolicious. Dave Cross has written a very detailed post about

Find out the story behind the support of Perl in Aspire. It is very inspiring and honest story. I wouldn't say, I understood everything but it created an interest inside me. You must checkout yourself.

JSON Web Token (JWT) is something that came up in discussion many times in the past but I never had chance to look at it in details. Last week finally I found time to get to the bottom of it. This post details how and what is it actually.
Every time I talk about design patterns, I get excited like a little boy who found his favourite toy. Whenever I feel down, I pick up my book,
gRPC was something I wanted to explore for a long time. In this post, I shared my investigation so far. I know, I have only scratched the surface and there are still plenty to explore.

I noticed the mention of optional chaining PPC in the report. If it is what I think it is then I am super happy that it is in safe hand now. I can't wait to see the end result. Thank you Paul.

Welcome to a new week with a couple of fun tasks "Single Common Word" and "Find K-Beauty". If you are new to the weekly challenge then why not join us and have fun every week. For more information, please read the
Enjoy a quick recap of last week's contributions by Team PWC dealing with the "Count Vowel" and "Largest Same-digits Number" tasks in Perl and Raku. You will find plenty of solutions to keep you busy.
The post demonstrates an extremely sophisticated work to the challenge. It uses advanced Perl's regex features, look-ahead assertions and the (?{...}) code block.
This fantastic example on how to reduce large scale problems into highly efficient solutions using half-lines of codes, showcases Perl’s ability to allow us to write complex, yet very succinct, solutions of difficult problems. It also serves as a great example of how to use regex backreference in a creative way, using regular expressions to locate and manage repeating patterns while minimising the amount of code required.
Peter provides a well-reasoned and pragmatic assessment of the problem at hand and presents readable, non-complex code. He broke up all vowel characters in the string into separate chunks prior to applying a sub-substring check which provides an excellent example of performance optimisation by successfully processing very long strings with a relatively low number of vowels in that string to produce an acceptable processing time.
In this post, you'll find a brief yet highly efficient method of solving the "Largest Same-digits Number" challenge. The method relies on a single-pass regular expression as an elegant means to perform pattern matching with maximum effectiveness, and exemplifies good understanding of the high performance features of Perl.
The post explains the need to clearly specify the task requirements for the "Largest Same-digit Number" challenge. It shows that an ambiguous requirement has caused different solutions to develop and serves to remind us that "coding to the examples" can be just as important as "coding to the original problem description."
