Hi,

I've been asked to find some basic / intermediate Perl courses for a
colleague. We've already got Learning Perl and Programming Perl on the
bookshelf but I've been asked to get a Web course that they can follow.

I know that many people here have a very low opinion of many of them
and having reviewed a couple I agree. What's the consensus on the best
(least worst!) ones?

almost all the web tutorials suck donkey eggs.

but the o'reilly school of technology (yes, the publisher) has just
released their perl level 1 class and are planning something like 5-6
levels. these come with continuing education credits from a real
university as well. i recommend them as i know the author well (peter
scott) and he is very good at perl training. there are current discounts
on the course so tell your colleague about them.

Thanks. Not sure I'll get the boss to actually spend money but we can
try.
