Hi there,
A belated happy birthday to Larry Wall, who turned 70 last Friday, 27th September.
Opensource contributions season is about to start with Hacktoberfest tomorrow. It would continue the whole month, enough time for you to contribute to opensource projects. Although I have registered to be part of this year event but I doubt to have time for contribution unfortunately.
For me, I am looking forward to the most awaited event, London Perl & Raku Workshop 2024. It is happening after a long gap of 5 years. If you are planning to attend the event then I would suggest you register your details as it would help the organiser to manage the event smoothly.
There is another Perl Conference that I completely missed and it was Perl-Conf.Ru. The first Perl developers conference in Russia in four years.
Enjoy rest of the newsletter.

The Weekly Challenge by Mohammad Sajid Anwar will help you step out of your comfort-zone. You can even win prize money of $50 by participating in the weekly challenge. We pick one champion at the end of the month from among all of the contributors during the month, thanks to the sponsor Lance Wicks.
The Weekly Challenge - 289
Welcome to a new week with a couple of fun tasks "Third Maximum" and "Jumbled Letters". If you are new to the weekly challenge then why not join us and have fun every week. For more information, please read the FAQ.
RECAP - The Weekly Challenge - 288
Enjoy a quick recap of last week's contributions by Team PWC dealing with the "Closest Palindrome" and "Contiguous Block" tasks in Perl and Raku. You will find plenty of solutions to keep you busy.
Diving Deep: Recursive Solutions for Palindromes and Contiguous Blocks
Clever use of recursive approach in Perl and Go. Hope to see regular post from next week onward.
Contiguously Closest
As always we got plenty of Raku magics, specially the debug mode. Highly recommended.
Return of the Son of This Looks Like A Job For Recursion!
Welcome back with yet another thoroughly discussed solution. Hope to see more in coming weeks.
Contiguous Palindromes
Mathematical approach to deal with Palindrome, something I never seen before. Great work, thanks for sharing.
Perl Weekly Challenge 288: Closest Palindrome
Cool trick to get the job done alongwith Raku magic. Bonus, as always, we got Perl implementation too. Keep it up great work.
not complete!
A very simple yet effective approach and easy to follow using Raku. Thanks for sharing knowledge with us.
Perl Weekly Challenge 288
Regex? I am pleasantly surprised to see the use of regex to get the Palindrome task done. You really don't want to skip. Thanks for your contribution.
The Simple and the Fast
Two different approaches, simple and fast. You pick your favourites. Great work.
A Man, A Plan, A Canal… PANAMA!
One stop for multiple programming languages. With that we get the special of each. Keep it up great work.
Nearness and contiguity
It is always pleasure to see how the task contributor deals with his own challenge. I must say, you will love it. Thanks for sharing.
The Weekly Challenge - 288
Clean and simple solution that is self explanatory. Well done.
The Weekly Challenge #288
Breaking down complex algorithm into smaller steps lead to a readable and easy to follow solution. Great work, thanks for sharing.
Block the Palindrome
Interesting use of FIFO queue and implementation in Raku discussed line by line, very handy to decode. Highly recommended.
Week 288 - Closest Palindrome & Contiguous Block
Walkthrough of complex algorithm made so simple. Great work, keep it up.
