Welcome to the Perl Certification Wiki

The Perl community is never going to agree on Perl certification as a whole. Some members don't see value in certifications, or might even think of them as something harmful to the community. But many people do see the need for certification and would like to be certified. These people should have the opportunity to get certified. Not by some cheap online test, but by a series of modular exams at face to face testing centers. Certificates that actually mean something and prove the candidates are actually capable of coding and debugging.

It's time to put things into action, make a system and design the syllabus. The time for debate is over.
