Somehow I passed RHCSA for the course I didn't do, even though I didn't know a few big chunks so would score zero for those sections. Sadly I failed on RHCE because there's too much to remember about irrelevant stuff that I would never dream of using and it all seems a bit over contrived.
Given that the exams marks if you can pass the exam rather than how you perform in a real job, what do people think of it's value? It might look good to management and help get an interview, but as someone not looking to move, ........ ?
Just wondering,

Hello rbatte1,
I NEVER discourage anyone from doing learning(by any good way). Personally I believe in this:

I believe in knowledgefication(may be not a word in dictionary but self-explanatory) NOT certification.

io::all::https
IO::All::HTTPS(3pm) User Contributed Perl Documentation IO::All::HTTPS(3pm)
NAME
IO::All::HTTPS - Extends IO::All for HTTPS URLs
SYNOPSIS
use IO::All;
$content < io('https://example.org'); # GET webpage
# two ways of getting a page with a password:
$content < io('https://me:secret@example.org');
$content < io('https://example.org')->user('me')->password('secret');
DESCRIPTION
This module extends IO::All for dealing with HTTPS URLs. Note that you don't need to use it explicitly, as it is autoloaded by IO::All
whenever it sees something that looks like an HTTPS URL.
The SYNOPSIS shows some simple typical examples, but there are many other interesting combinations with other IO::All features! For
example, you can get an HTTPS URL and write the content to a socket, or to an FTP URL, of to a DBM file.
METHODS
This is a subclass of IO::All::LWP. The only new method is "https", which can be used to create a blank IO::All::HTTPS object; or it can
also take an HTTPS URL as a parameter. Note that in most cases it is simpler just to call io('https://example.com'), which calls the
"https" method automatically.
OPERATOR OVERLOADING
The same operators from IO::All may be used. < GETs an HTTPS URL; > PUTs to an HTTPS URL.
SEE ALSO
IO::All, IO::All::LWP, LWP.
