Right, so anybody wants to get famous (well at least a little :), you
wrote some cool code snippet -- describe the gist, attach the source and
let others look over it. Sort of WebTechniques columns by Randal.

well, may be. Obviously we don't need certifications when we cannot find
mod_perl programmers at all. I just thought about it as the
counter-intuitive solution -- create the certification program and make
people think that there are so many mod_perl programmers that we there was
a need for a certification -- which will bring to the interest, since
people believe that if someone is running certification program it must be
good. And then once started to learn Perl/mod_perl he is actually going to
realize that it's good indeed.

Yeah, but I don't seem to make other interested. I don't know why. Folks
are too busy I guess.

I don't know. Baiju told me back in August that he resumes the
functionality but he has dissapeared since then. I'll try to reach him.
