in reply to Random Perl Pair Programming

I like the idea generally, but be very careful of assuming that XP is any guide to Perl skills. I'm ranked ahead of Damian Conway, Larry Wall, Gabor Szabo and lots of others compared to whom I don't have a clue.

    You know... I think it could be a good idea to add a new standard field in the user profile: CPAN author ID. PM would autolink it to the author page on (meta)cpan.

    Update: Done.

    I reckon we are the only monastery ever to have a dungeon staffed with 16,000 zombies.

      Nice! Shame i can't give you all of my upvotes today.

      perl -e 'use Crypt::Digest::SHA256 qw[sha256_hex]; print substr(sha256_hex("the Answer To Life, The Universe And Everything"), 6, 2), "\n";'

    The score I'm thinking could be a rough guide telling you to look at the individual's writeups and then CPAN module work if any. Then you have a good idea but Perlmonks itself can be a great ice breaker.
