artist has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Being interested in math and solving puzzles, I have come acorss a number of recreational sites. One site is ACM. I enjoy them, try to solve them in my little corner. With the power of Perl, solving them is lot of fun.

I would like to know what other monks in terms of repository of tips/techniques of solving these type of puzzles/problems with Perl. It would be more of an educational and fun oriented. In the long term, these tips may be helpful in solving other problems.

Please let me know if such/similar thing exists currently. I am already aware of Fun With Perl. I am seeking for a more specific purpose. I think that Perl Quiz by Dominus was a very good attempt towards this.

    Well, you might be interested in checking out and participating in the current discussion along similar lines.

      No, my viewpoint is not about focusing on learning Perl. It's about developing tricks in Perl using suitable algorithms to solve puzzles.
