Hi,
I have proposed at
http://www.officevision.com/pub/p5ee/
that one of the artifacts to emerge from the P5EE effort is
A self-training curriculum for developers to become "self-certified"
as Enterprise Perl Developers, Enterprise Perl Architects, and
Enterprise Perl Administrators.
This would attempt to address the level of enterprise development
expertise in the Perl community.
Thoughts?
Stephen
