| Hi Folks,
Could someone tell me a worthy certification in PERL (not to learn but
to have a "recognized" one)?
With Best Regards,

AFAIK, there is no "certification" which is generally recognized. One
may take a course and use a completion certificate as a
"certification," but that's not really the same thing.
One of the problems is that nobody "owns" Perl, so the question is: Who
has the "authority" to certify anyone (or determine the certification
standards)? Some folks do not believe that meaningful certification is
even possible, even if the question of "authority" could be settled.
One of the leading advocates of a Perl certification program is Tim
Maher; you may read his thoughts and links at

None are recognized. If someone is trying to sell you one, it's cash
for them, but nothing for you.
