I've been looking to start a programing competition for perl at my univ to spread the word and get people learning the language. Are there any programs out there already for perl competitions? Is there any way to get free swag as prizes? either from PM or other establishments.

Ok topic 2. As a competition enthusiast, I think it would be much appreciated to post competition like questions into its own section on PM. It can allow us to see how different people would tackle a situation and challange programers who are sitting around bored (on a teacher strike) looking for something to do

Anyways let me know what you think.
