the difference between my, our, and local
Do they get extra points for knowing the difference between "our" and "use vars"?
closures
Do they extra points if they can demonstrate anonymous subs that aren't closures, or closures that aren't anonymous subs? 
my $this_is_an_anonymous_sub_that_is_not_a_closure = sub { print "hell
+o" };

BEGIN {
  my $message = "this is a closure that is not an anonymous sub";
  sub here_it_is {
    print "$message\n";
  }
}
