How to become a Perl programmer?

While becoming a Perl programmer does not require you have formal qualifications or postsecondary education, most successful programmers have at least a bachelor’s degree in computer science, computer engineering, or data systems or a related field. Many employers accept prior experience and, especially, a portfolio of successful projects in lieu of a university degree. It is not uncommon for employers to require prospective employees to pass a Perl test in order to establish your ability and skills. As with many careers, being a Perl programmer requires excellent communication skills, particularly as you translate technical concepts and limitations to stakeholders and decision-makers.
