It sounds like they might hire one Perl toolsmith/mentor type.

These are items that seem to come a bit slower to many programmers: tie, grep, map, BEGIN, .., ..., m, wantarray, scalar, and the special variables that likely want local and issues that go with all of these.

The core modules are worth more attention than CPAN's.

Things I'd like to know more about:

• Filesystem organization of code for production & distribution.
• Testing in the large.
• Use of compile time constructs. Just curious.
• The special vars and tokens.
• Regexes.
• The debugger. Just curious.
• use fields, this seems in flux.

• Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
• 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).
• Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
