I saw several months ago on the Internet (via StumbleUpon I think) a list of levels of Perl developers (like about 7-8 levels) with their corresponding characteristics (e.g. submitted a module to CPAN, use typeglobs, developed a OO module, named Larry Wall (highest level), etc).

Anyway, I have a development group of 8 Perl developers (myself as well) and we wanted to rank ourselves a bit - give the newbies and even the senior guys something to work towards and the like. Kinda like yellow, white, black belts although this analogy to Karate seems a bit cheesy.

Wanted this to find some milestones of a Perl developers skills so we could ... say buy a round of brews when one of my guys reaches their goal of submitting their first module to CPAN say.

Anyway, couldn't find this anywhere via Google (tried stuff like "Perl Developer Levels" - pulls up job postings and crap). After an hour of searching thought of Perl Monks.

Anybody got any suggestions and/or links for me?
Thanks

BTW, hope I hit the right Node - just noticed "non-questions" description.
