I have to interview a job candidate for a position at my company. I have been put in charge of the perl questions. While I know a pretty good amount of perl, I was wondering if any of you could provide some good questions (w/ the answers please) that I might be able to ask.
Thanks! |

"Do you know Perl?" Seriously, it all depends on what your candidate needs to know. You can always give them a small problem and have them solve it with pen and paper. And then you can check it. Should give you an idea of how quickly they can solve a small problem and a bit how their style is.

Perl For Automated Web Form Search
(1) Hi all, I'd like to write a script to automate a search in order to collect data from an online
database. The database is an archive of newspaper articles. The search is for certain words/text. It
is searchable via a form only. The rub is that only a small portion (a month) at a time is
searchable. I need to search every day for 50 years or so. Manually, this would take a considerable
amount of time. I'm thinking of using perl or ruby or something similar. I am an absolute
beginner with scripting and haven't done much formal learning in the subject since a ....
Perl Interactive Mode
(2) I am kind of wondering why for some reason, Perl does not have an interactive mode in its parser
like Pythong does in its. Also, Python comes pre-packaged with a GUI like parser and it is written
in Python\Tk (I think that's what its called). I know that Perl has Perl\Tk, and I know it has
an eval function. Why is there no interactive parser like that. I think I could come up with one.
Anybody, wanna see if we can build a interactive module like the Python one?....
Perl As A Way To Program Desktop Applications
(8) I know that Perl is very common for CGI scripts and is used in many web applications. I also know
that Perl can be run from the command-line for basic applications. Anybody ever make desktop
applications in Perl or do most people strictly use Perl for CGI and use C(++) or Visual Basic for
desktop applications. I am curious because I would like to attempt to create a game in Perl and
distribute it. Of course it could only work for people who have Perl installed. Just wondering.....
