Nobody knows what "Perl" really stand for (so it is a trick question) and I never use a "shebang" line in my scripts as on Windows its use is very limited, so that would not necessarily weed out the good from the bad.

Better to ask whether they use c-style for-loops or know what the Schwartzian Transform is.
