In what way? if you had only 32 hours of class time to expose someone
to Perl, and the target is "writing 1 to 100 line programs", and it
had to be for everyone, not a specific application area, and from a
broad variety of backgrounds, what would you do instead?
Sure, you can do more with more time, or with a more targeted
audience, but once people are over their first 30-ish hours with Perl
and get oriented, there's plenty of variety in the online references
and more specific advanced publications to take care of that.
I pondered this question VERY carefully when redesigning the llama
course over the past few years, which has become the llama3 book soon
hitting the streets. There's nothing dated about a book and course
that are updated every two months or so.
