Christie,

I agree with Chris; there's probably a *lot* of people that use Perl
for day-to-day tasks (where the Perl code doesn't end up getting
shipped).  Those people - i assume - won't be very interested in
"advanced" Perl at the onset, but would be quite open to learning the
fundamentals so they can leverage CPAN to Get Things Done.  Knowing
how to piece together this huge library of "pre-built" components is
valuable.
