What is the contest?
Monks should be given some kind of problem to solve with Perl. A quest can be created where monks come up with ideas for a problem and rules for it. The problems are voted on and the top vote getting problem after a certain date is used. Once a problem is selected it should be displayed on the Node Home Page.

How will entries be submitted and when will they be viewable to everyone?
A person will volunteer to run the contest. The scripts will be e-mailed to that person by a certain date. The next day, the person will post all the scripts on a specified page.

How will the entries be scored and by whom?
On the page where the scripts are posted, Monks that did not participate(otherwise people would only vote for their own) will vote on the scripts. They will vote for a first place, a second place, and a third place. The one voted first will get 3 votes, second - 2 votes, and third - one vote. The votes should be based on program correctness, speed, how well the problem is solved, extras that elaborate on the problem, etc.
