in reply to Perl Certification

I offer certifications. Basic cert is free so you're in luck.

I hereby confirm that Bheema_Tyco is certified to write Basic Perl

Of course you'll never be able to get a job with a Basic Certification. What you need is an Advanced Ceritfication. While not free, I think you'll find that it is really worth it in today's job market. Please send $50,000 to me via PayPal and I'll print and ship your official Advanced Perl cert immediately. (This approximates both the cost and the actual value in the workplace of the average US college degree.)

    Don't believe him: the only Real Advanced Perl Certificates are to be ordered from me. They come in full colour prints (you may even choose the text colour yourself) on thick cream-coloured paper with (of course) Gothic lettering and hand-signed by myself. To make sure that these certificates are the real stuff, they come with a certificate stating that they are real and valid for any legal purpose. You cannot get them any more official than that!

    A program should be light and agile, its subroutines connected like a string of pearls. The spirit and intent of the program should be retained throughout. There should be neither too little or too much, neither needless loops nor useless variables, neither lack of structure nor overwhelming rigidity." - The Tao of Programming, 4.1 - Geoffrey James

      Well if you really HAVE to have a Perl Certifcation that is from someone that an Employers HR Dept. MIGHT respect, you could try the one from CIW. It used to be just a test of Perl that was part of another Certification, but now it is a Certification on its own, CIW Perl Specialist.

        Sure, a Perl test on a PHP page: that seems legit. ;-)

        I was just curious, but I got Bad Request (Invalid Hostname) and same for http://www.ciw-certified.com/store/perl.php.

        maybe they could not sell enough certificates ? ;-)
