Anonymous Monk has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Hello,
This is not really a technical question though it is about Perl. I apologize in advance if I offend someone who doesn't think this is an appropriate forum for my question.

I am currently the Perl Go-see at work despite my minimal Perl knowledge. I'm gladly helping my boss interview some people to take over as the Perl "experts" at our workplace. He has asked me to do the technical part of the phone pre-screen interview, to determine if we've actually caught a Perl master or Perl pretender.

The question: What question would you ask this person to determine the level of fluency he has in Perl?

I look forward to any reply...
Victor
