An Idea that just popped into my head that would get people thinking Perl could be a 'Finish the Code' contest. Someone could enter code that is incomplete and everyone would try and finish the code, making it run the most effeciently. Whoever turns in the best code would get a certain amount of XP, but I think each entry should get at least 1 XP point.
Maybe it could be 1 XP for turning in incomplete code and/or making an entry, 5 XP for it being chosen, and 10 XP for having the best completed code.
This sounded good in my head, someone tell me if this is a good/bad idea to get the voices to shut up, please.

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).
