I'm sorry to be the one to break the news to you, but the IT industry has appallingly low standards for hiring.

For instance, you may be able to get a programming job without at any point being asked to produce a code portfolio or to program in front of an interviewer.

I'd still be keen, by the way, to help you through a specific example that's giving you trouble compiling. I believe that when smart people get confused by things which their designers ought to have made simple, it's an opportunity to learn about improving similar designs.

If all you have is regex s/.+/nail/

until(m/j{100}/){s/(j*)$/\1\n\1j/};
s/^(j{15})*$/fizzbuzz/gm;
s/^(j{3})*$/fizz/gm;
s/^(j{5})*$/buzz/gm;
s/^(j+)$/length($1)/gme;
print;

Warning: Do not try this (or any other perl coding) at home!
