This week I could have picked Aaron Copeland’s original arrangement of his work, but I really wanted to show off Keith Emerson’s masterful arrangement for ELP’s 1977 album.
So with plenty of fanfare, let’s dive into Perl Weekly Challenge 335!

Perl Weekly Challenge: SUMone tell me what makes a point VALID?
No music this week, I’m just jumping into the tasks, “Range Sum” and “Nearest Valid Point”. So let’s dive into Perl Weekly Challenge 334.
Perl Weekly Challenge: Zero is Not the End of the Line
This week’s challenge is about straight lines and duplicate zeros, so let’s jump to the end of the line and listen to some musicians who were decidedly not zeroes.
So let’s live the life we please with Perl Weekly Challenge 333.
Perl Weekly Challenge: Oddly Binary
With this PWC evoking “oddness”, the only music I could really use was David Bowie’s Space Oddity.
So let’s sit in our tin can far above the world and watch Perl Weekly Challenge 332 unfold.
Perl Weekly Challenge: You have the last word, Buddy…
This Perl Weekly Challenge has tasks “Last Word” and “Buddy Strings”, and that got me thinking about the spate of famous people dying lately, so I decided to give the “last word” to someone known not for words but for… his flugelhorn.
So now let’s see why Perl Weekly Challenge 331 feels so good…
Perl Weekly Challenge: [TITLE OF THE POST]
This Perl Weekly Challenge is all about algorithmic replacement, and in thinking about the second task I realized that algorithmic replacement was also possible in music.
So let’s modulate, hold a high note, and see if we can hear the title of Perl Weekly Challenge 330.
Perl Weekly Challenge: It MUST be nice!
This week’s Perl Weekly Challenge has a task that wants strings to be “nice”, but if musical theater has taught me anything, it’s that nice is different than good (remember “good“?). But then my wife pointed out that if the task wants the string to be nice, then it must be nice.
So let’s get Washington on our side with Perl Weekly Challenge 329.
Perl Weekly Challenge: Good Old-Fashioned Replacement Boy?
Perl Weekly Challenge 328 is about replacing strings, and calling one of the problems “Good” made me think of a song my wife claims is mostly forgotten by mainstream fans of Queen: Good Old-Fashioned Lover Boy.
So let’s crank out some good old-fashioned code.
Perl Weekly Challenge: Missing Absolute Distance
To work on Perl Weekly Challenge 327 I must be MAD, you say? MAD? MAD?!?!
Perl Weekly Challenge: Got a date with compression!
Looking at this week’s challenge, the “date” aspect jumped out at me, and I thought of a an old song… Got a Date With an Angel.
So let’s get on our way to heaven with Perl Weekly Challenge 326.
