[Wellington-pm] [Fwd: UG News--Perl Programming Certificate, New from O'Reilly School of Technology]

[Grant McLean]

In an interesting development, O'Reilly will begin offering Perl
training and certification next year in conjunction with the University
of Illinois.  They have Peter Scott on board as instructor so the course
content should be pretty solid.
