I taught a class in Illinois last week, and one of the students asked if there was a mailing list that would deliver a weekly Perl quiz or programming puzzle. I said I didn't know of one, but that it sounded like a good idea, and that I would set one up when I got back.

I am now back. If you want to get the quiz-of-the-week, send a note to

perl-qotw-subscribe@plover.com

Please feel free to circulate this announcement to appropriate venues.
