Hey Monks,

Recently, I came across this site :

http://acm.timus.ru/

The concept is: you have to solve a particular problem by wrting a solution in C, C++ or Pascal. Next thing you do is: send your source code to an "online judge". The bot computer will compile the code for you and you get a notification if the answer is good / wrong / compilation error / ...

My question is: is there something like this for Perl? I searched the web for "Perl challenges", "Perl contests" and more but I couldn't find anything usefull. Do you know anything more, something interesting? You can learn a lot from these "puzzles" , plus it's fun!

I really enjoy the challenges on the http://acm.timus.ru/ site, but my "language of choice" is Perl, so I want to solve things in Perl.

Maybe (in the future) we could try to make something like this in Perl? If any of the Monks is interested in this, just drop a note.

Any comments / replies about the idea appreciated.

Cheers, Azerton

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
