MJD ran a "Perl Quiz of the Week" a few months ago but it petered out, probably due to lack of spare time on his part as much as anything else. It's a pity, because the questions he came up with were very interesting, and he took the time to develop "beginner" and "expert" variations on the question.
It would be good to see this project revived. Surely there's someone out there with enough tuits to take it over? No doubt mjd has a backlog of questions to get the ball rolling again. The web site can be found at perl.plover.com/qotw.
Note that one of the reasons the discussion was so interesting was because he didn't specify such-and-such a module, just "here is the problem, solve it". Sometimes the answers involved modules, sometimes not, but in all cases the results were very interesting.

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).
