sub text_justifier{
  my $diff = $_[1] - length($_[0]);
  die "Length too short!" if($diff < 0);
  my $l = int($diff / 2);

printf "%s\n",text_justifier('Perl',4);
printf "%s\n",text_justifier('A',7);
printf "%s\n",text_justifier('',5);

Task2

We sort the case-folded words and join them back into a string:

#!/usr/bin/env perl
use strict;
use warnings;
use feature qw(fc);

sub word_sorter{
  join ' ',sort {fc($a) cmp fc($b)} split /\s+/,$_[0];
}

printf "%s\n",word_sorter('The quick brown fox');

printf "%s\n",word_sorter('Hello');
printf "%s\n",word_sorter('Hello, World! How are you?');
printf "%s\n",word_sorter('I have 2 apples and 3 bananas!');

Task1

We keep on summing the digits of the number until we reach a number with a single digit:

#!/usr/bin/env perl
use strict;
use warnings;
use List::Util qw(sum0);

sub digital_root {
  my ($n) = @_;
  my $c = 0;
  $c++, $n = sum0 split '',$n while $n > 9;
  printf "Persistence  = %d\nDigital Root = %d\n",$c,$n
}

digital_root(38);
digital_root(7);
digital_root(999);
digital_root(1999999999);
digital_root(101010);

Task2

We keep on removing duplicate characters until there's none:

#!/usr/bin/env perl

  1 while $s =~ s/(\w)\1//g;
  $s
}

printf "%s\n",string_reduction('aabbccdd');
