Perl Weekly Challenge: Doodling with matches and prefixes

Even though Perl Weekly Challenge 352's tasks "Match String" and "Binary Prefix" ought to have been fertile ground for a musical theme related to the tasks, my brain was just too preoccupied with a certain someone's 100th birthday celebration, I couldn't think of any other music besides The Doodlin' Song.

Perl Weekly Challenge: A pretty average progression…

Since Perl Weekly Challenge 351's tasks are "Special Average" and "Arithmetic Progression", I decided that this week's musical theme should be Average Person by Paul McCartney.

Perl Weekly Challenge: Shuffling the Good

With PWC 350's tasks being "Good Substrings" and "Shuffle Pairs", I really couldn't avoid the musical theme being Boz Scaggs' Lido Shuffle.

So let's do one more for the road in the Perl Weekly Challenge.

Perl Weekly Challenge: The Power of String

With Perl Weekly Challenge 349's tasks being "Power String" and "Meeting Point", I had a tough music choice. I could have given you Kansas from the 70s, but my high school/college years were the 80s, so I had to go with my heart and give you The Power of Love by Huey Lewis & The News.

Don't need no credit card to ride THIS train.

Perl Weekly Challenge: Ticking away the moments that make up a challenge…

I mean, with Perl Weekly Challenge 348's tasks being "String Alike" and "Convert Time", how could I pick anything else besides Time?

Though I was amused by Mohammad Sajid Anwar initially mistyping the second task as "COVERT Time", and I thought it would be a spy task...

Perl Weekly Challenge: Oh, oh, formatted strings, give me some thing…

Perl Weekly Challenge 347's tasks are formatting dates and phone numbers, so I'm offering up ELO's Telephone Line as this week's musical theme.

Doo-wop, doo-be-doo-doo-wop, doo-wah, doo-languages...

Perl Weekly Challenge: Whoa-oh-oh! Sing about parens!

With Perl Weekly Challenge 346's tasks being "Longest Parenthesis" and "Magic Expression", I had a bunch of ideas for music, so I went with the first one that popped into my head: Billy Joel's "The Longest Time".

Who knows how much further I'll be able to torture the intro before diving into PWC 346...

Perl Weekly Challenge: Teach Them How To Say PWC…

With Perl Weekly Challenge 345's tasks being "Peak Positions" and "Last Visitor", I was somewhat at a loss for what to what music to pick. Then I thought about how I haven't done musical theater in a while, and it came to me: "One Last Time" from Hamilton.

So let's teach them how to say goodbye with PWC 345...

Perl Weekly Challenge: A-ray Sunshine!

The tasks for Perl Weekly Challenge 344 both have names that talk about being arrays, and nothing musically jumped out at me relating to arrays. So I started free-associating, and arrays made me think of rays, and rays of sunshine, and sunshine made me think of The Beatles.

So let's have a good day and go ahead with PWC 344!
