I guess with such questionnaires, the whole discussion is more relevant than the answers to the questions. Do you let them take the test in written or in an interview? If it's an interview, I find your questions quite nice (except #1).
Question 2 could lead to discussion about personal coding standards, question 4 could lead on to discussion about which modules you use, whether you've written any yourself etc. Likewise, an answer to question 6 that only explains the return values of <=> would be quite disappointing. A good answer would involve a few applications, like e.g. sort {$b <=> $a} and maybe even some personal experience where you got bitten by using it wrongly. A discussion like this can tell you a lot about a developer.

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).
