  Well, I haven't taken the test yet ;) (I live in MN)

    Nor have I, though I would hardly expect to top someone who uses Perl for a living. Besides, it's too nice outside to take a test like this right now.

      And it costs money and I'm not feeling that gullible today ;)

  For a while brainbench considered me to be the best perl programmer in the UK, which is of course arrant nonsense. I did it for a laugh back when it was free.

    C'mon folks. I didn't pay for this. My company made some kinda deal. It's free to us employees.

    Gimme a little credit. Jeeesh!

      Sorry mate, I didn't mean any offense. I was poking fun at Brainbench not at you. I gathered from your post that your company paid for it.

  I dimly remember consulting for Brainbench on some of their tests, possibly including an edition of the one you took.

  The whole process is a mess that ideally produces no test that's embarassingly inaccurate, but at the cost of almost never producing a really good test. But I had no particularly better process to suggest, so I refrained from unhelpfully saying "if you write a Perl test to this outline, it probably won't be bad, but it will never be good."
