[oak perl] (fwd) 12 lessons

[Philip:  see <http://oakland.pm.org/detail/related.html>, section
entitled "What's an Ambassador?"] 

O.K.  I figured someday I'd actually have to *do* something as perl
ambassador.  This was on the Washington, D.C. list.  Can we help out
Philip?  I'll send anything we come up with to the dc list.  (Or if
you want, you can join the dc list yourself and interact directly
with them. :-)

hi - I was late to tuesdays meeting & couldn't get
in the door, but I did write up this very brief
sketch of an outline for the year long perl course,
broken down into 12 sections.  Can people critique
(with suggestions for changes) on this outline -
and help develop the outline into something that
takes form ?  Again, this is just a first pitch
at the thing & contains my rough thinking on the
thing, its in no way finalized.  I'm also not
overly protective of the thoughts, so feel free
to rip it up into any intellectual shreds you'd
like to.  Again, the idea is that we need to be
able to take a newbie, anyone who wants to get
right on the boat at step 1 and take them right
up to pretty "expert" level in about a years
time, if they are willing to do a lot of work
on their own, etc ...
