1. I would never recognize the real names of most of the PerlMonkers. You see, I just met Corion on YAPC::EU and if he did not say his Perlmonks ID I would not connect the person with the ID. Knowing how most of the people are humble here, I think most of them won't mention this in a job interview.

2. Do you always and only work at places where there is a Perlmonk/CPAN author/etc... working? What if you are supposed to be the first "good Perl developer"?

3. There are only a few thousand people in the core Perl community. They can only work in so many places. What about other companies? How can they select from the other ~ 99% Perl users which one of them are better?
