[0]converter writes "The Brainbench [1]Perl 5.8 Exam Beta is now
available online (click the 'Get Test' button to proceed). I was a paid
reviewer during the development process and submitted a number of
corrections with working code samples and documentation. If you would
like to add your input, please take the free beta exam and submit
feedback." This was submitted a week or two ago; I don't know if it is
still in beta.
