Perl Weekly=20
https://perlweekly.com/
You can read the newsletter on the web, if you prefer.
https://perlweekly.com/archive/560.html
Hi there,
Here in England, two long weeks of school holidays are ending for us today.
It is Monday bank holiday in England today. From tomorrow, we are back to
the school run in the morning and afternoon, whilst fasting during the day
as Ramadan is going on.
Let's enjoy the last day of the break and not worry about anything else.
In the last one week or so, I have been sharing Perl sample code in posts
on various social media platforms, like The Perl Community (
https://www.facebook.com/groups/perlcommunity ), Perl Programmers (
https://www.facebook.com/groups/perlprogrammers ), Twitter (
https://twitter.com/cpan_author ) and LinkedIn (
https://www.linkedin.com/in/mohammadanwar/ ). It has generated lots of buzz
on the subject. Lots of new ideas, at least to me, came to the fore.
For those who missed it, let me share some of them here:
- Stacked file test operators (
https://www.facebook.com/groups/perlcommunity/permalink/1196449164496041
)
- Compare numbers (
https://www.facebook.com/groups/perlcommunity/permalink/1197846361022988
)
- Power of printf() (
https://www.facebook.com/groups/perlcommunity/permalink/1195694301238194
)
- Size of hash (
https://www.facebook.com/groups/perlcommunity/permalink/1195152567959034
)
- Handling of conflict markers (
https://www.facebook.com/groups/perlcommunity/permalink/1194997197974571
)
- Substitution operator (
https://www.facebook.com/groups/perlcommunity/permalink/1193298991477725
)
Have fun with Perl and share your experience with us. Take care of yourself
and your loved ones!
Enjoy rest of the newsletter.
