We (at Language Weaver) recently hired a 'junior programmer' -- pretty much
fresh out of college, and I've been mentoring him in Perl.  It turns out,
though, that I'm spending at least as much time helping him think through
design issues that are general in nature and not specific to Perl as I am
actually teaching him Perl.  He gets most of the Perl knowledge (though not
all) from books and looking at existing code.
