"More people are killed every year by pigs than by sharks, which shows you how good we are at evaluating risk".

I'm sorry, I had to say something. :) More people are in proximity to pigs than sharks, therefore it does not follow that a pig poses a bigger risk than a shark, which shows you how good Bruce Schneier is at critical thinking (whoever he is). :)

I feel better now. Sorry all.

And as to the actual topic. I think the best question is "Can I have a URL that points to some of the code you have written in Perl?" Or, "Where can I see an example of the work you have done in Perl?"

It's more time-intensive, especially if you have 300 resumes on your desk, but it should be remembered that hiring a new employee is a big risk and investment for a company. In general too little time is spent on screening. Everyone wants to check them out "on the job" -- but inevitably you never get rid of the lemons.
