The path in Perl

I am writing this for myself.  But, if someone finds it and it helps them, all the better.  I have found out that I interview poorly and I have not been using the Perl tools I should.  So this is my story on me getting better.  If I sound stupid or lame ... at least I work my rear end off.  I like this article:

I have been doing Perl since 2004 when I needed to parse these enormous files for a contract my employer was trying to land.  We however didn't land it ...  But, I was able to use that knowledge to work for ZipSearch.   I have worked with some great programmers, Amit Dey, Ollie Ready, Andy Olsen and Ashley Pond.

Ashley recommended that I do a quick read of his Modern Perl book is a really good idea too. PDF is
available for free: http://www.onyxneon.com/books/modern_perl/

First thing to check is how well did I know Perl.  Here is a great place to start:  http://www.modernperlbooks.com/mt/2011/01/how-to-identify-a-good-perl-programmer.html

Here are Ashley's answers http://sedition.com/a/3080  I recommend that you do your's first, since that information stays with you longer.


My answers coming in the next post.
