As part of our continuing crusade against sanity, we of #perlhelp (EFnet) have
created a modest perl quiz to test for all the skills required to make the
maintainance programmer voluntarily leap into the gaping chasm of madness.
We hope it will reinforce everyone's appreciation of our favorite language,
by itself and as a tool towards this noble goal. ;-)
Only those who know and truly understand the answers to all these questions can call themselves [insert awesome title here].
UPDATE Thanks to mauke, strict solutions are now known for all exercises! :-)
Please black-box solutions/spoilers so people can safely read discussion without seeing all the answers. (for example use: <table bgcolor="#00000000"><tr><td><font color="#00000000">Text goes here</font></table>)
UPDATE: clarification of exercise 5: "static variable" means a variable whose value is retained across multiple invocations of the sub (like static vars in C), and being "scoped to a sub and no wider" means that the standard solution { my $x; sub { ... } } doesn't qualify, because $x is one block wider than the sub. (it is static though) UPDATE: Strict solutions are now available for all exercises. UPDATE: (21-7-2004) How's your Perl? (II)
