HEADLINES
When I proposed Bhagavad Git API task for the Perl Weekly Challenge - 017, I was hoping one of team member from India would pick this up. Our API task leader, Joelle Maslak, has been beaten by Randy Lauen, who just joined the team. As usual, Joelle always takes up API task in Perl5 and Perl6. This time, Adam Russell also joined the group for API task this week.
I have had many request from the team members to make RSS feed available for the website. Personally, I am not a big fan of RSS. Therefore never bother looked into the details. But after so many request for RSS feed, I created perl script to generate the feed. I would love to hear what you think. If you have any suggestions to improve then please do share with us. You can find the link in the page footer. For now, you can check out here.
Last but not the least, keep contributing to the weekly challenge, making sure we keep the focus on Fun and Knowledge Sharing.

Watch this space for Damian’s blog about Perl Weekly Challenge. Damian picked up the Vigenere Cipher task of Perl Weekly Challenge - 015. The best part of the blog was history of Vigenere Cipher.

Andrezgz
Andrezgz used Memoize to speed up Ackermann function solution. [PERL #1] [PERL #2]
Daniel Mantovani
Daniel used regex very smartly to solve URL parser task. [PERL #1] [PERL #2]
Dave Jacoby
Dave solved the Ackermann function with Memoize. He also showed how Mojo::URL can be used to parse URL. Nice writings. [PERL #1] [PERL #2] [BLOG #1]
Duane Powell
Duane use of recursive function for Ackermann Function task is simple but elegant. I liked the idea of test data generation. He took the help of URI module to solve URL parser task. [PERL #1] [PERL #2]
Duncan C. White
Duncan solved the Ackermann funciton task with the help of Memoize to improved the recursive function use. [PERL #1] [PERL #2]
