Well just about everything that can be said on this thread has been said, except for this.
Google for: "perl (certification OR certificate)" produces 2170 matches. This matches two phrases. If you remove the quotes, i.e. Google for: perl (certification OR certificate) produces 1.2 million hits. Among them is this, from the Perl Journal http://www.tpj.com/documents/s=1131/sam05040001/letters.htm?temp=NJykmWt Eip which says in part: I was wondering if you knew of anyone that offers a Perl Certification Program? ... At the second O'Reilly Perl conference, Mark-Jason Dominus, Nathan Torkington, and I sold Perl Certificates. You named a title ("Perl Monger", "Perl Studmuffin", and "Perl Sultan" were all chosen), and an Official Perl Certification was immediately printed for you to take home and frame. To receive a certificate, you needed to show no qualifications other than the ability to open up your wallet and fork over $2. (This is like other certification programs, but cheaper.)
