Too bad your method for determining the version of Perl doesn't work well in all environments. 
[174] perl -e "print $];"
Illegal variable name.
[175] echo $SHELL
/usr/bin/tcsh
[176] bash
bash-3.00$ perl -e "print $];"
5.008005

    That is because he is using Windows. On windows the quotes are ". On all other (sane) systems, the non-interpoliting quotes are ', which is what renders any quiz that involves quotation useless if it is to span Windows and any-other-OS.

    FWIW I didn't even start the quiz as it took way too long loading and when loaded (don't remember if I waited for a full load) requires cookies/scripting


Enjoy, Have FUN! H.Merijn
