Proprietary code is named that for a reason. I've never had anyone ask for something that they shouldn't see, and I wouldn't show them anyway. For the last interview I went to (didn't get the job), I asked if they wanted to see any code samples, and the guy said "I saw your CPAN directory, and my developers know your name, so I guess you pass." That's the way to do it I guess. :) For the job I have now, it started as "I've seen your stuff on usenet, and I'd like to talk to you." Not everyone's boss reads usenet though. Randal does though (and a hint to the people who been asking if Stonehenge has any work: you end up talking to me, but it's a lot easier if Randal has seen you enough in the various places he hangs out that he remembers your name ;)
