What do you provide when interviewers ask for code samples?
I tell them that they are more than welcome to look at my nodes here. I have both good and bad code and answers here. I would hope that someone would not solely look at what I have contributed in the first or last six to twelve months but selections from the entire length of time that I have been a member. They could focus only on the code or they could also look at how I answer people's questions. I'm coming up on my third anniversary here (it's hard to believe) and I'd like to think that I have honed my skills in all areas during that time.

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).

or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
