Welcome to the InsideSales Perl challenge! We expect an experienced Perl developer to take ~ 2 hours to finish the challenge: 45 minutes or so for the first part, and 60-90 minutes for the second part.
The command-line parsing library code in this repo contains two bugs, explained below. Fix both of them in separate commits to your local insidesales_challenge repo.
If you run Getopt/t/nounverb.t multiple times, test 24 ("missing required parameter helptext correct") will fail about 50% of the time.
Note - if you are on Windows, it will fail 100% of the time. Extra credit: why?
Update GetOpt::Resolved.pm to ensure the help output matches the expected output.
If you try, the option will retain its default value instead of the '0' provided on the command line
See Getopt/t/resolved.t test #3 ("falsey value (0) overrides default truthy value (push 0)")
The second part of the challenge is writing a script to upload your updated repo to Amazon Simple Storage Service (S3) so we can see your results.
Contact perlchallenge@insidesales.com and provide us with an AWS username you control.
We will respond by creating an S3 bucket and giving you read/write access to it.
Then, write a script using Getopt::NounVerb that supports the following operations:
- Upload a file to a bucket
- Delete a file from a bucket
- List files in a bucket
The bucket, access keys, AWS region, and file (where appropriate) should all be Getopt::NounVerb parameters.
- Your script should detect .zip files and set the Content-Type accordingly.
- When uploading files, give the bucket owner full permission.
For S3 interactions, use this AWS-provided perl library:
https://aws.amazon.com/items/133?externalID=133
- Add it to your local insidesales_challenge repo and commit it
- Zip up the entire repo.
- Use the script to upload the resulting zip file to the bucket we've shared with you.
- Email us to let us know you are done!
Have fun! If you get stuck, let us know.
