where can i find interview question for perl?

Question

help me

Answer 1

on the internet. Don't be lazy and google it!

Answer 2

Umm, really an unclear question. Are you looking for a question to ask someone during an interview about their knowledge of perl or are you looking to fake some knowledge about the compiler while you are in an interview? If you are looking for the second one, I won't help. Learn the language.

If you are looking for the first one, however, a great question is: "What are the 3 different types of variables that perl uses and how do you access them?"

Answer 3

having done many perl interviews,,, my favorite first question is about my vs local.
then I ask them to write a regular expression
then I ask them what modules do you know, have you used cpan?
if they are still in the running, I ask what they know about perl 6.

if they know a little about perl 6 , they are the geeks I want!

Answer 4

When I interview folks, I ask what the varous data types are, a little about references, and then give them my "test" (famous within our company..)

I have about 100 files AAA###BBB were ### is 0-999. I ask them to rename the file AAA###BBB to BBB###AAA, using any tools they want, on Windows or Unix. Open book, open internet, etc.

The variety of solutions can be real fun.

a DBA candidate did it in SQL.
some folks used excel (to build a *.bat file)
some folks used perl ( what I would do)
some folks used python
some folks used awk/sed
some folks found special CMD.EXE tricks I didn't know about to make it work.

I'd say about 70% of candidates I was seriously considering (by resume, interview) failed the test. Kinda suprising. (job postings (sys admin and unix support) *does* mention scripting)

I've never hired a candidate who turned out to be unqualified. :)
