Thank you for ur concern . Btw , I do not really appreciate the use of the term "sucker" and I am not sure if such language could be used in public mailing lists with out understanding the proper reasons for the mail.
I simply agreed with the other poster as pasted below. Take it or leave it.
This is turning into a flame so I'll end is now.

I agree. If they are a competent company then shallow knowledge of Perl will get him nowhere. I've been studying for almost a year and have written basic code (IMO) to accomplish a few things. In a recent interview I was asked about my Perl knowledge. They had a couple of basic questions which were fairly easy to answer. Fortunately for me, they aren't looking for a Perl hot shot :-)
To start learning Perl, Check out the Oreilly books. I strongly recommend "Learning Perl 3rd Edition" and perhaps "Perl for Dummies". Don't fake it or you will be caught. Be honest. It can come back to bite you otherwise in the future. I know. I caught one sucker recently who isn't competent (I'm being kind btw). Needless to say he didn't make it.

Hello everybody, My name is Shashideep. I am new member of the group. I have been learning PERL for the last few days. I want to be good enough to take up interviews .
BEG YOUR PARDON ???
I would be grateful if somebody could direct me to any site which would give me an idea of what type of questions can be expected while applying for PERL related jobs.
You should learn Perl so that you are able to program in the language effectively, not just so you can fake the knowledge in an interview.
Though ... if they are so easily deceived they deserve what they get.
Jenda P.S.: I probably should not tell you, but it's either Perl (the language) or perl (the interpreter), but never PERL.
P.P.S.: In the unlikely case you do want to learn something you might as well start with the "art" of using mailing lists. Lesson 1, use meaningfull subjects: http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html#bespecific
