i am a little unclear what the benefits of this exercise might be without
a brand or larger player backing it up. if we could hook up with someone
like learning tree (eg they can claim to deliver courses to "PCSE"

ps i only mention learning tree because they're a company people know of
OUTSIDE the Perl community.
ps2 PCSE - Perl Certified Software Engineer? lack of imagination?
