Yes, well, how does one judge who is competent when one is not competent
in what one is judging? Unfortunately, in most Perl circles, mentioning
the "C-word" is almost as enjoyable and as worthwhile as an emacs v. vi
war.
There is a "C-word" faction in the UK and they have a mailing list at
http://lists.cpan.org/showlist.cgi?name=perl-cert
Much of the arguments against certification stem from the seeming
uselessness of the MS* certifications and the like. However, there are
a few linux certification programs that have cropped up recently that,
after taking the on-line test quiz, may have merit and be a model for
others such as Perl to emulate.
I suggested a while back that there should be a few on-line tests for
people to take, especially students, that would help judge their own
progress with learning Perl or for pointing out weaknesses...but it would
seem the popular misconception and ill will towards the "C-word" still
prevails.

http://www.cpan.org/misc/cpan-faq.html#Where_find_Perl_training
has a list of some tutorials and http://bookmarks.cpan.org/ also
has a few things thay may be of interest.
