It depends where they saw it, I suppose. This isn't a widely known list, and the places I can think of which mention it state its purpose reasonably clearly -- though I'll concede that for a non-native-English speaker that could be harder to dermine. > Not one of the responses that I saw actaully tried to help the person, > even by simply pointing them to the right place. I would've done if I could think of a right place. But I'm at a loss to think whom somebody trying to cheat on a job application should approach. A priest, perhaps? If the question had been plausible then I'd've suggested PerlMonks; but as it was phrased it would only get shot down there too, so there didn't seem to be any point. > Let's not be assholes to newbies. Sure. But equally I don't want to encourage people to get Perl jobs dishonestly -- especially if it means somebody who actually knows Perl doesn't get the job. Smylers
