in reply to Some reflections on the Brainbench Perl Test

I think I said it before, Perlmonks should issue Perl-certificates, not based upon a silly quiz, but based upon the level of Perl knowledge shown in answering and posing questions. I'm sure one of our Monks can whip-up a module to print nice certificates to be signed by the "Chancellor of the Certification Division" or the "Curate of the Inquisitory Board into Practical Perl knowledge".

    I can think of a pretty basic algorithm to make this fly. First, you probably discard levels/experience as showing up to vote can place you among the mighty given enough time. Then the ratings of any post with lines of code are measured positive against negative (not sure how or in what formula). A level of "competent" is determined by identifying a monk who is recognized as such, but not by much :), and then peg the scale to that code:positive/negative node rating measure. Anyone above is PM Certified™. Categories of certification can be tag mapped from the use statements in a monk's posted code samples. E.g.: considering my own posts, I would expect to be auto-certified for CGI/Ajax but not Sysadmin.

    All y'all are lucky I'm too busy to try to make this into working code right now.
