in reply to perl final exam on 13 of december

One thing to do is try reading seekers of perl wisdom, and solving other people's problems. Then, look at the solutions other people have posted. Some of the questions, you'll find, are well-asked, the kind of thing you're likely to see on a test. Some of the questions are, well, not. Seeing this will help clarify your thought processes, which will help you whenever you're trying to reason -- inlcuding on a test. For a purticularly nice problem, try A list of warnings by category -- from the point of view of a coding question.

    That's an excellent answer. I'd also offer that few professors in undergrad classes test for things they didn't cover in class. You should go back through all your notes and do the work therein again. And if you don't have enough confidence in your own notes, ask a classmate to meet you at the copy shop and swap notes so you have another set from which to work.
