We would definitely sign up for such a course!! I can understand the
value of having a beginners course, but the advanced material is what
interests me. What would benefit my team the most would be in depth
coverage of Moose as well as advanced web application development with
Catalyst, DBIx::Class and other such technologies. If it even went so
far as to cover new age deployment of said web apps using Plack, Par,
etc.

After writing the above paragraph, what I have suggested might be a
better workshop then a course.. but I would still sign up for it!!
