Hi there!

Last week I included an entry about the <a href="https://www.meetup.com/code-mavens/events/301268306/">Getting started with Docker for Perl developers</a> workshop I am going to run on June 13. This is part of a series of free virtual workshops I started to offer via the <a href="https://www.meetup.com/code-mavens/">Code Mavens</a> Meetup group. If things go well I'll run workshops for 3 languages: Perl, Python, and Rust and several related technologies. I've already schedule 3 events for Rust, 2 for Python, and 1 for Perl. Now, to plan ahead, I scheduled another Perl event:

<a href="https://www.meetup.com/code-mavens/events/301413566/">Continuous Integration (CI): GitHub Actions for Perl Projects</a> on July 14.

Even it these events are not relevant to you or they are not scheduled at a time when you can be available I'd like to invite you to register to the <a href="https://www.meetup.com/code-mavens/">Code Mavens</a> Meetup-group to get notified about other events. I am also going to send out (again) a survey to understand better what topics are more interesting to the members of that group, and at what time would it be most convenient for them. So by registering and voting for Perl you could get more Perl-related events.

Last Week Mohammad mentioned both the <a href="https://tprc.us/tprc-2024-las/">The Perl and Raku conference</a> to take place in Las Vegas between June 24-28 and the <a href="http://act.yapc.eu/lpw2024/">London Perl and Raku Workshop</a> that will take place, surprisingly, in London on October 26. Are there other in-person or virtual Perl conferences, workshops, or meeting planned? Let us know so we can include them in the Perl Weekly! At the bottom of each edition and on the <a href="https://perlweekly.com/events">events</a> page.

The last thing I would like to highlight this week is a link Wendy shared a few days ago of <a href="https://www.flickr.com/groups/yapc/pool/">lots of pictures from YAPCs since 2003</a>. I even found several pictures of myself and became a bit nostalgic.



Enjoy your week!

## The Weekly Challenge
<a href="https://theweeklychallenge.org">The Weekly Challenge</a> by <a href="https://manwar.org">Mohammad Sajid Anwar</a> will help you step out of your comfort-zone. We pick one champion at the end of the month from among all of the contributors during the month.
  
### [The Weekly Challenge - 272](https://theweeklychallenge.org/blog/perl-weekly-challenge-272)

Welcome to a new week with a couple of fun tasks "Defrang IP Address" and "String Score". If you are new to the weekly challenge then why not join us and have fun every week. For more information, please read the <a href="https://theweeklychallenge.org/faq">FAQ</a>.

  
### [RECAP - The Weekly Challenge - 271](https://theweeklychallenge.org/blog/recap-challenge-271)

Enjoy a quick recap of last week's contributions by Team PWC dealing with the "Maximum Ones" and "Sort by 1 bits" tasks in Perl and Raku. You will find plenty of solutions to keep you busy.

  
### [TWC271](https://deadmarshal.blogspot.com/2024/05/twc271.html)

Impressive compact and elegant Perl solutions. You are going to love it. Thanks for sharing.

  
### [Ones by 1](https://raku-musings.com/ones-by-1.html)

What I like about Raku is the ability to create compact solutions. I wish we could do similar things in Perl. Thanks for sharing.

  
### [Rows Without A Paddle](https://jacoby-lpwk.onrender.com/2024/05/28/rows-without-a-paddle-weekly-challenge-271.html)

Use of CPAN module makes the end result short and sweet. Keep it up great work.

  
### [Perl Weekly Challenge: Week 271](https://www.braincells.com/perl/2024/06/perl_weekly_challenge_week_271.html)

Unique style of narration is my favourite, line-by-line analysis is very handy. Thanks for sharing.

  
### [Counting Ones](https://github.sommrey.de/the-bears-den/2024/05/31/ch-271.html)

Being master of PDL, we got another classic solutions. You must check it out.

  
### [Perl Weekly Challenge 271: Maximum Ones](https://blogs.perl.org/users/laurent_r/2024/05/perl-weekly-challenge-271-maximum-ones.html)

Classic show of Raku and Perl power in one place. It is near identical, true talent. Well done.

  
### [Perl Weekly Challenge 271: Sort by 1 Bits](https://blogs.perl.org/users/laurent_r/2024/05/perl-weekly-challenge-271-sort-by-1-bits.html)

Playing with bits in Perl and Raku is a child play. You have to see it yourself to believe it.

  
### [Perl Weekly Challenge 271](https://wlmb.github.io/2024/05/28/PWC271/)

Are you PDL fan? If yes then you must checkout this post. Well done and thanks for sharing.

  
### [Riff Raff](https://fluca1978.github.io/2024/05/27/PerlWeeklyChallenge271.html)

Raku one-liner is showing off once again. Thanks for sharing the knowledge with us.

  
### [You are my only ones...](https://github.com/manwar/perlweeklychallenge-club/tree/master/challenge-271/matthias-muth#readme)

Breaking down task into smaller actions makes it easy to follow through. Keep it up great work.

  
### [Only Ones](https://packy.dardan.com/b/MC)

Like always, we got Perl, Raku, Python and Elixir. Even if you are new to language, you can easily follow through as they all follow the same login. Thanks for sharing.

  
### [All about ones](http://ccgi.campbellsmiths.force9.co.uk/pwc/challenge/271)

Using just grep to solve the binary matrix task is incredible. Don't forget to try it out the solutions.

  
### [The Weekly Challenge - 271](https://reiniermaliepaard.nl/perl/pwc/index.php?id=pwc271)

Smart move to get the help of CPAN module. Thanks for promoting the use of CPAN modules. Keep it up great work.

  
### [The Weekly Challenge #271](https://hatley-software.blogspot.com/2024/05/robbie-hatleys-solutions-to-weekly_29.html)

Loved the hack used to get the job done. It is very impressive. Highly recommended.

  
### [Sort the Maximum One](https://blog.firedrake.org/archive/2024/06/The_Weekly_Challenge_271__Sort_the_Maximum_One.html)

Happy to see PostScript is the chosen language for the blog post. It is not like any other programming languages but very special. Keep it up great work.

  
### [Maximizing the 1 bits](https://dev.to/simongreennet/maximizing-the-1-bits-m8a)

Thanks for sharing your encounter with GitHub Copilot. I have used it when it was FREE and enjoyed the magic. I must admit it did good job.
