plan a) we get them to buy

                3rd Edition of Perl Programming

                make them read it cover to cover - in one sitting.

plan b) we keep stumping for our favorite perl tricks

plan c) we keep saying

        perldoc <tokenHere>

plan d) we keep throwing up demonstration code....

plan e) we get them to visit the CPAN to see if their module
                        already exists in some form....

Well technically - given that I do my development in
my own

        ~/Projects/<YourFreakNessHere>/<sub_dirs_as_needed>

and to test it on remote OS's - I have to pick up the tarball,
and haul it over to the other machine - { have we talked about rdist yet? 
}
and do the Voodoo There...

Hence the 'distribution' and 're-distribution' process occurs,
like code, it's a disease, it spreads, it infects....

and the more software tools you have to keep it at bay.....
