This isn't really a coding question but I am moving through a book trying to learn Perl. I would love to be able to go to a site somewhere and get tested on some of the parts I just learned.

Does anyone know of such place? Somewhere that assigns tasks to test your knowledge? E.g

1) Write a perl script to accept a file name from a user then read the file, line by line, and check for the number of occurances of a character, provided by the user.

2) Create a hash with the days of February. Using keys and values functions split the %hash into arrays and loop through each key and display is value.

This are things I just made up now but I would love to be given small tasks to see if I really understand what I just learned. I find this forum useful because sometimes, when the questions are aimed at beginners, I take the question and try to solve it myself. Anyway, does anyone know of such a place?

• Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
• Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:

  <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>

• Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
