I'm taking a programming interview soon. I know there will be some Perl debugging. I'm a little bit rusty in Perl--actually, my head is currently filled with C++ instead.

So, I was hoping to find a resource for buggy Perl code. NO! Let me rephrase that...I'm looking for something like the book "How NOT to program in C++" (http://www.bookpool.com/sm/1886411956). I'm fairly certain nothing like that exists for Perl, but maybe there is some web tutorial someone knows about that has some examples to work through?

Maybe there's a Monk out there who feels like creating a few for me...? Or pointing out some on SOPW that were pretty good but straight forward examples? I'll be hunting cool Perl books later tonight, too, so any suggestions are welcome.

And if any of my interviewers are reading this, please ignore the question. 'K? :)

Thanks
jason.
