Well, they do say you are allowed to use online references
and books, so that's part of the reason for the time limit.
In the real world, you're not expected to know everything,
but you had better know how to find the answers.
I scored higher than I expected, though (4.21). I was thinking
I got more answers wrong than that. I certainly don't feel like a
Certified Master Perl Programmer when I see some of the posts
on Perl Monks :)
One thing they could improve on: they give you lots of examples
and ask "What does this print out?". It's trivial to cut and
paste their code from the test window into an xterm and run it and
get the result without having to think about it critically.
They could fix this by having the code printed inside a PNG
image using GD or something similar, so cut-and-paste would be
not be an option.
Hmm, maybe Perl Monks could start some sort of certification
program...
