in thread What is your opinion in Perl Certified Professional?

If what you want is a GOOD filter, you should probably avoid certifications.

The problem is that some employers only care that CertificationExcludesBadPeople, and ignore the fact that CertificationExcludesGoodPeople and CertificationIncludesBadPeople.

    Yes, that's a problem. In fact, it seems that most employers feel that way. I'll never be one of them (if I'm ever in a position to employ people, that is).
