With Perl Weekly Challenge 354‘s tasks being “Min Abs Diff” and “Shift Grid”, I was a bit stuck for a musical theme. So I free-associated, and “grid” made me think of the cover of The Rolling Stones’ album, Some Girls. So let’s listen to that while we write some challenges¹.

“Validate Coupon” and “Max Words” are the tasks for Perl Weekly Challenge 353. I can’t believe I’ve done tasks with Max before and it never occurred to me that I needed to feature a song with Max Headroom.

Ok, swing code… swing!

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.

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.

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.
