Company where I worked has following policy:
- Candidate should send example of his code with his resume. This code is reviewed. Sometimes resumes were rejected at that step (usual reasons for rejection are absence of use strict, absence of indents, homebrew parser of query parameters in CGI).
- Before interviewing candidate they were given tests to do - relatively simple programming tasks. Tests were specially designed to stress required skill.
Most candidate were rejected on these steps without interview at all. I belive your programer would not be able to pass them too.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).

or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
