I went job hunting some time ago and was not tested anywhere, although I expected to be.

Where I work, I keep a 'lab.pl' on every server/workstation that I come in contact with. It's basic make up is: 

#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use diagnostics;
use strict;
$|++;

use Data::Dumper;

__END__

With that in a file with 700 permissions, I can almost work up to the "any time, anywhere" level.

If a co-worker asks me a coding question, I can mock up a demonstration at a terminal and teach them what I'm doing as I code. This is very handy.

And if there are errors, I just talk through them till I have a working model, then I can mail them my file and they have an example to keep.
