Hi there!

Last week Mohammed already mentioned the LPW, now they have a <a href="https://blogs.perl.org/users/lpw/2024/05/lpw-2024---call-for-papers-and-sponsors.html">Call For Papers and Sponsors</a>. I am glad they write on bpo, but I also wonder, do they publish the CFP on other web sites as well. e.g. DEV.to?

I don't have a lot of time dealing with Perl these days, but I looked at the <a href="https://cpan-digger.perlmaven.com/recent">recent report of CPAN Digger</a> and I see there are still quite a few CPAN packages that do not link to their public Version Control System (VCS). If you have some spare time maybe you could check out the modules in the <b>VCS</b> column and ask the author to add the appropriate fields so it will be easier for others to find the git repository.

Today is the Holocaust memorial day in Israel. I assume most of the readers of the Perl Weekly know what it is about, but I am surprised how many people in the world have never heard the word or don't know what it is about. I spend the day partially by watching interviews and lectures. I listed some of them on my site: <a href="https://israel.szabgab.com/holocaust-memorial-day-in-israel-2024">Holocaust memorial day in Israel in 2024</a>.

I also wrote an article titled <a href="https://israel.szabgab.com/humanitarian-aid-for-gaza">Rafah and the humanitarian aid for Gaza</a>. If you'd like to read more about the topic from me, you can <a href="https://israel.szabgab.com/subscribe">register to my newsletter</a>.

Unfortunately I need to deal with this quite a lot instead of sending Pull-Requests.

You, enjoy your week!

The new Carp::Object module is an object-oriented replacement for Carp or Carp::Clan. What is the point? Well, there are some motivations.

Upgrading the OS and Perl can go terribly, but one has to do it anyway and it is probably better to do it frequently than rarely.

### [RECAP - The Weekly Challenge - 267](https://theweeklychallenge.org/blog/recap-challenge-267)

Enjoy a quick recap of last week's contributions by Team PWC dealing with the "Product Sign" and "Line Counts" tasks in Perl and Raku. You will find plenty of solutions to keep you busy.

  
### [Every Product Counts](https://raku-musings.com/every-product-counts.html)

Usual dose of Raku magics for all of us. Plenty to keep you busy.

  
### [Positively Perl Street](https://dev.to/boblied/pwc-267-positively-perl-street-5390)

Bob is back with yet another Perl power sharing tri-valued operator. Thanks for sharing the knowledge with us.

  
### [Perl Weekly Challenge: Week 267](https://www.braincells.com/perl/2024/05/perl_weekly_challenge_week_267.html)

Perl lacks handy functions as compare to Raku but you can come up with quick one in no time as Jaldhar has shared in this post. You really don't want to miss it.

  
### [Lines and Signs](https://github.sommrey.de/the-bears-den/2024/05/03/ch-267.html)

Clever use of 'reduce' of List::Util to get the job done. The task analysis is worth checking out.

  
### [Perl Weekly Challenge 267: Product Sign](https://blogs.perl.org/users/laurent_r/2024/05/perl-weekly-challenge-267-product-sign.html)

We got bonus one-liner in Raku as well as modular functional solution. Highly recommended.

  
### [Perl Weekly Challenge 267: Line Count](https://blogs.perl.org/users/laurent_r/2024/05/perl-weekly-challenge-267-line-count.html)

No gimmicks for the Line Counts task. Just straight forward approach both in Perl and Raku. Thanks for sharing knowledge with us.

  
### [Signs Count](https://github.com/MatthiasMuth/perlweeklychallenge-club/tree/muthm-267/challenge-267/matthias-muth#readme)

Love how the weekly challenge is inspiring to get smart and clever one-liner in Perl. Great work, keep it up.

  
### [Perl Weekly Challenge 267](https://wlmb.github.io/2024/04/29/PWC267/)

Master of Perl one-liners in the Team PWC is keep the tradition alive and sharing another special one-liner. Highly recommended.

  
### [It’s the Product Line Sign that Counts](https://packy.dardan.com/b/Ko)

Use of lambda in Python solution is really cool. I love it. Well done and keep it up.

  
### [Product lines](http://ccgi.campbellsmiths.force9.co.uk/challenge/267)

Peter sharing multiple approaches to get the desired result. You really don't want to skip it.

  
### [The Weekly Challenge - 267](https://reiniermaliepaard.nl/perl/pwc/index.php?id=pwc267)

Perl special variables in action. It would catch your attention, I am confident about it.

  
### [The Weekly Challenge #267](https://hatley-software.blogspot.com/2024/04/robbie-hatleys-solutions-to-weekly_30.html)

Using the method signature of latest Perl makes the code looks elegant, very impressive, keep it up.

  
### [The Line is the Sign That Your Product Counts](https://blog.firedrake.org/archive/2024/05/The_Weekly_Challenge_267__The_Line_is_the_Sign_That_Your_Product_Counts.html)

PostScript has always amazed me the most with all the unique syntax. It is always fun to read the code. Thank you for keeping us entertained every week,
