I don't recall all the details, but a few years ago I had a similar experience with the Brainbench Perl exam and as a result of my list of complaints (with corrections) was invited to serve as a reviewer for a revision of the exam. Several corrections were made to the newly revised exam as a result of my reviews, but Brainbench were not interested in focusing on more advanced topics at the time. I vaguely recall having the impression that Brainbench had determined that customers were only interested in verifying applicants' knowledge of Perl for very basic tasks, and that other languages were more appropriate for real application development. Unfortunate.

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).
