in reply to Evaluating Perl skills set
Perhaps a database of multiple choice questions would be scored. And then perhaps an eval section where you type your Perl answer and get a mark if the correct answer comes out.
This would, hopefully, be a free website or even a set of CGI scripts which a company could download and untar, and sit prospective candidates down to.
Scoring would be across a number of topics such as
- regexps
- operators
- functions/subs
- variables
- files
- os oddities
etc.
An interviewer would then be able to determine for themselves if the knowledge areas of the candidate were appropriate.
Nothing like a test to flush out the good from the good talkers.
