hello,

i'm interviewing for a perl job and was wondering if there's a good source of sample interview questions out there somewhere?

i'm pretty confident, but want to make sure i'm not overlooking something obvious one might ask....

thanks!

I have no idea what you'd be asked, but let's pretend I'm the boss (bear in mind I have no idea what the job is so I'm just making stuff up) :

1) Why do you want this job?

2) What experience have you have?

3) Are you able to write mod_perl compatible scripts, if so can you provide some example code?

4) Have you got experience combining perl with SQL, XML, SOAP etc?

5) Can you provide examples of code you've written?

6) Perl vs PHP. Discuss

Here's a good article by a very knowledgable man in this field.

http://perlmonks.org/index.pl?node_id=53569

And here is more of a listing of specific Perl-related questions

Good luck.
