Perhaps, then, you can offer categories (obviously not passing out T-shirts to everyone...):

• Most Obfuscated Solution
• Shortest Solution (character-wise)
• Most Ridiculous Solution (using the wrong modules for the wrong job but results in correct solution!)
• Most Wasteful Solution (without dumping core)
• Most Clear Solution (without documentation)
• Fastest Solution (via BenchMark assuming taking web page from file instead of net)
• perhaps some others...

Arguably, not all of these are interesting or useful and are, of course, at your discretion, but I think it would be interesting to give lots of people chances to get something interesting done for others to see. Perhaps it would be more fair for all of the applicants' progs to show up on tinymicros.com for all the perlmonks to vote on (anonymous programs until winner declared for fairness). That way, the system can be almost completely automated.

AgentM Systems nor Nasca Enterprises nor Bone::Easy nor Macperl is responsible for the comments made by AgentM. Remember, you can build any logical system with NOR.
