Greetings
I recently started working on my first CPAN module, Project::Euler. This is simply my effort of solving the problems posted on http://projecteuler.net using modern Perl strategies / modules. I will be making an effort to post about my thoughts that I have while coding as well as problems that I ran into and how I overcame them.
Being as this is my first module uploaded with PAUSE, I've already ran into many snags and continue to muck up some simple things that will no doubt disappear once I am fully comfortable with how CPAN works. I may post some entries about the issues I've encountered already but for now I will just be posting all future ones.
With any luck, I will help others who have been hesitant posting to CPAN see it through the eyes of a newbie and realize that it isn't all that bad!
The point of Project Euler is to give people the chance to figure each problem out for themselves. So please don't ruin it by providing people with ready-made solutions. Any useful libraries you wish to make available would be fine. But don't offer exact solutions pre-cooked.
