RECAP - Perl Weekly Challenge

For the first time ever, I published RECAP blog before the weekly challenge. It is the sign that things are settling down. Members are using Pull Request more frequently to submit the solutions. Last Sunday, when I made the Challenge 004 public, I couple of people responded in no time.

The first person was Kivanc Yazan and he announced it on Twitter.

The next person followed him was @smokemachine. He has been regular since last week.

Challenge 1 (Perl 5 only)

Abigail joined last week and submitted his solutions.

Adam Russell solution for the second challenge of the week is worth reading. Please take a look here.

Alicia Bielsa is another new member joined last week and submitted solutions to both challenges. I must point out the first solution using handy trick. I must confes that I didn’t know about it before.

Andrezgz also submitted the similar solution to the challenge 1 but using different library. Nice to know variations.

Athanasius presented another variations using the trick FILE. Short and sweet solution.

Daniel Mantovani solution can be hard to read. I must say the logic is hard to decode. Do you want to try? Checkout the code.
