[Chicago-talk] Qualify Skills?

[JT Smith]

A+ = Larry Wall
A = Damian Conway
B+ = Andy Lester
C+/B- = JT Smith

To be in the A range, you'd have to be a Larry Wall, Randal Schwartz, Damian Conway type 
person I would think. Not that you have to be them, just that you have to know the inner 
workings of Perl, and all of the coolio tricks they do.

If you know mod_perl, Perl core, Test::More, and a good working knowledge of CPAN, then 
you're probably in the B range.

Anything else and your a lesser grade.

That's my 2 cents.
