certification? (Score:1)

by perrin (4270) on 2006.03.28 11:08 (#46828) Journal

I think it's clear that people want some form of official badge as a "serious" Perl developer, even if this isn't a certification-based system.
Uh, that's not clear at all. I hear very little support for certification of any kind from the Perl developers I know.

  Agreed. I'm not interested in anything like that.
  
  I'd rather wave a certificate and say I took a class from Randal Schwartz or somebody (which I didn't), as it would have some real meaning. As it is, my resume says far more than any such meaningless certification would say, and my ability to demonstrate that I can do something useful for a potential employer says far more than even that.
