We are happy to announce that CosmoShop supports the German Perl/Raku-Workshop.
CosmoShop is the largest pure Perl based shop system.
Since 1997, we have been implementing sophisticated and individual eCommerce projects in the B2B sector with our specially developed store software. We are the central point of contact for the entire spectrum.
These are some answers to the Week 273, Task 1, of the Perl Weekly Challenge organized by Mohammad S. Anwar.

You are given a string, $str and a character $char.
Write a script to return the percentage, nearest whole, of given character in the given string.
Example 1
Input: $str = "perl", $char = "e"
Output: 25
Example 2
Input: $str = "java", $char = "a"
Output: 50
Example 3
Input: $str = "python", $char = "m"
Output: 0
Example 4
All three of us returned.
We only had one issue to discuss, the pressing matter of how to handle lexical unimports, builtin version bundles, the integration with use VERSION, and various related topics.
It’s complicated. We’ve been putting together a longer mail on the subject and that will come out as its own thread soon.
The 2023 Dancer Advent Calendar, the Twelve Days of Dancer is up and running! We hope you'll enjoy this year's version - there's a lot of fun and practical gifts to be found there.
Hot on the heels of our earlier gift (Dancer2 1.1.0) come two more plugin releases, Dancer2::Plugin::Cache::CHI and Dancer2::Plugin::Syntax::GetPost.
Enjoy! Let us know what you think. Happy holidays to all! (and now it is time for this Dancer to enjoy a long winter's nap)

I started to also post on dev.to and will post there mostly about topics larger than Perl : psychology of programming, software engineering and alike.

You are given a string, $str.
Write a script to return the score of the given string.
The score of a string is defined as the sum of the absolute difference between the ASCII values of adjacent characters.

I hope the piece above is the first in a series to convince people to consider the reality before passing judgement. It was inspired by one of our research analysts discovering Perl and awk to simplify their lives when cleaning data.
Season's Greetings, Perl!
I've spent almost all of my time since my [last post here]( https://blogs.perl.org/users/ingy_dot_net/2023/05/perl-toolchain-synergy.html) working on a new programming language, YAMLScript.
It's working now and I've decided a do a [2023 Advent YAMLScript Blog]( https://yamlscript.org/posts/advent-2023/index/) for it. The blog started last Friday and will continue (at least) until December 24th.
I encourage you to follow along. At some point this month YAMLScript modules will become available for CPAN and Raku and many other languages. I also encourage you to try writing an [Advent of Code 2023]( https://adventofcode.com/) solution in YAMLScript, if you are playing along with AoC this year.
All the Best, Ingy döt Net

You are given a valid IPv4 address.
Write a script to return the defanged version of the given IP address.
A defanged IP address replaces every period “.” with “[.]".
Example 1
Input: $ip = "1.1.1.1"
Output: "1[.]1[.]1[.]1"
Example 2
Input: $ip = "255.101.1.0"
Output: "255[.]101[.]1[.]0"
This the first time that I hear that an IP address could be "defanged."

After trying in vain to get some "auto" syntax highlighting here via the editor, I reached for an old trick I've used in the past. Generating HTML using some external service. After a quick Google search, I found https://tohtml.com/perl/. Given a block of Perl code, it'll generate HTML based syntax highlighting that one may add to their post. For example,

You are given an array of integers, @ints.
Write a script to sort the integers in ascending order by the number of 1 bits in their binary representation. In case more than one integers have the same number of 1 bits then sort them in ascending order.

The German Perl/Raku workshop will take place

I released Juliagraph an interactive fractal painter for Julia and Mandelbrot types of fractal.
We have had a good number of responses, but would like more. And time is running out! Please take this survey and share with your Perl contacts.
Survey URL: https://forms.gle/DDPWsNqEsZW8AyWX7
The track would target academic and industrial STEM applications, and emulate in some way traditional science conference tracks; meaning the talks would be based on paper and poster submissions. If this came to pass, the Science Perl Committee would also follow up with the publishing of the papers in an official proceedings of this track.
Survey officially closes on Thursday, November 23, 2023. But we would love your feedback!
Sincerely,
Brett Estrade

You are given a m x n binary matrix.
Write a script to return the row number containing maximum ones, in case of more than one rows then return smallest row number.
Example 1
Input: $matrix = [ [0, 1],
[1, 0],
]
Output: 1
Row 1 and Row 2 have the same number of ones, so return row 1.

builtin::nan needs better documentation on the kind of NaN it provides.builtin and lexical imports, and how to handle a few odd cornercases.The Perl and Raku Foundation is thrilled to announce that the FOSDEM organising team has accepted our proposal to set up a DevRoom on Saturday, February 3rd 2024. It has been quite a few years since the last Perl DevRoom at FOSDEM. Historically, they have always been well attended and packed.
Since last time, a lot has happened, and TPRF is excited to help create this venue for sharing news with developers from Europe and across the globe. Many FOSDEM visitors have a background using Perl, but may have missed out on recent developments. Larry Wall himself was a guest speaker at FOSDEM in 2015 to announce Perl 6, which was later renamed to Raku. Much has happened since then, and there is lots to share!
