I was not aware that so much discussion about Perl certification had
already taken place (though it makes sense that is has). It DOES sound
like quite a tough pickle. But you have to imagine, if any group of
people were to be able to find a way to make a proper certification
program, wouldn't it
So no Perl certification?
;) joking.
I'm glad this was discussed though. It's always nice to know that there
are other people out there who realize that good coding happens from good
general knowledge of programming principles, not knowing all the syntax in
a language. Plus I had no idea

Yeah, it's easy to get side-tracked on an issue like this.
Fighting for Perl's cause is kind of fresh in my mind these days. Mostly
because I feel like I have to _fight_ for it. At least lately. I've been

Well just about everything that can be said on this thread has been

This matches two phrases. If you remove the quotes, i.e.
