Hello, Monks! I have been absent from the PERL coding scene for approximately two years due to various changes in major, coding emphasis, etc. However, on Monday I'm going to be taking an Aptitude and Technical Skills test for a job and it will be in PERL (C++, C#, and Java were other choices, but it's been nearly as long since I did C++ and Java programming to any great extent). My review material at this point consists of the Learning Perl book by O'Reilly.

Question: What material should I most concentrate on in my review? What resources (internet, preferably... college student, go figure) should I study?

I remember most of PERL's basics, but am somewhat lacking in areas which I probably need more familiarity with (such as web services).

Thanks for your help! I realize I'm probably doomed having only a few days to study up, but I appreciate your input.
