Those questions are a strange mixture of absolutely elementary and far more complex.
My answer to "6. Write a simple (common) regular expression to match an IP address etc" would be "that's not as simple as it sounds. I want to use a module". How would that score?
I think these questions will just betray to the interviewees that the person interviewing them doesn't know much about Perl. Perhaps you'd be better off trying to find some Perl guru local to you who could help out by attending the interviews?

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).
