the Schwartzian transform

Do they get extra points for knowing there is a drink named the Schwartzian Transform? (Which, like the transform itself, wasn't named by me.)

the difference between my, our, and local

Do they get extra points for knowing the difference between "our" and "use vars"?

closures

Do they extra points if they can demonstrate anonymous subs that aren't closures, or closures that aren't anonymous subs?

my $this_is_an_anonymous_sub_that_is_not_a_closure = sub { print "hell
+o" };

BEGIN {
  my $message = "this is a closure that is not an anonymous sub";
  sub here_it_is {
    print "$message\n";
  }
}

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).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
