There are a couple of Perl tests at the beeb, but Dave will have been
subjected to the Numpty-filtering-test that was on our team.  Last set of
interviews I took, the person who wanted more money than we could offer was
the one who scored lowest.   Strangely, he didn't even seem to have good
Blagging skills.
