I almost would say that questions or quizes might be better as meditations than SoPW (you're not strictly looking for help, you're offering an exercise to improve ones Perl skills), but that's just me.

On the topic of quizzes, I seem to remember there used to be one that MJD ran (but that got derailed by his work on HOP, I think :). The Ruby people have rubyquiz.com that's posted to ruby-talk semi-regularly, and I want to say someone used to do something similar on the fun-with-perl list. Might be interesting to take some of the Ruby quiz problems and compare solutions . . . :)
