Perl Weekly Challenge 366's tasks are "Count Prefixes" and "Valid Times". When I looked at the second task, and I saw how the times were changin', I needed to listen to some Robert Allen Zimmerman. #PerlWeeklyChallenge #raku #perl #python #elixir

Perl Weekly Challenge 365's tasks are "Alphabet Index Digit Sum" and "Valid Token Counter". I thought about trying to find some song referencing tokens or validity, but I kept hearing Caroll Spinney's voice in my head. #PerlWeeklyChallenge #raku #perl #python #elixir packy.dardan.com/b/kv

Perl Weekly Challenge 364's tasks are "Decrypt String" and "Goal Parser". Because task 2's second example is decidedly a tribute to Andrés Cantor, that meant I needed to think "soccer" when I was thinking about the music this week... #PerlWeeklyChallenge #raku #perl #python #elixir

PWC 362's tasks are Echo Chamber (which made me think maybe I should pick something by Echo and the Bunnymen) and Spellbound Sorting. Spellbound? …yeah, I had to give you the song by Siouxsie and The Banshees. Because this task took the most time… #PerlWeeklyChallenge #raku #perl #python #elixir
