Linux certification

[geokor]

I have about 3 years IT experience (mostly web site development including perl, scripting, etc.) and would like to get into linux server/client admin.

I have setup a linux/apache at home and am studying like crazy.

My question is: what is your opinion about linux certification, especially Linux+ and/or SAIR? Is it worth it? Will being certified help me get an entry level linux position? Does it actually impress those of you who are hiring linux people?

I run SuSE by the way.

Thanks a 1,000,000.

Can you give me your favorite URL about learning perl+CGI i must learn it since this day.

haneo, these are my favorite perl sites. First of course there are 2 tek forums you should be part of right here: Perl and CGI. Then try

http://www.webdeveloper.com/cgi-perl/.

All of WebDevelopers sites are great in my opinion.
Also,

http://learn.perl.org/

&

http://www.lies.com/begperl/

are both pretty good though I've only come across these recently. I'm assuming you already are part of Perl Mongers at

http://www.perl.org/

and CPAN at

http://www.cpan.org/.

These are the two great perl sites I know of.

Good luck.
