Does anybody know of somewhere that offers > short/intensive courses in Perl? Obsidian (http://www.obsidian.com.au/) has been thinking of trialing a perl training course for a while now. The biggest concern I have in restarting them is continued interest in the courses. From what I've heard of Netizen's experience (everyone feel free to correct me here), is that enrollments were great to start with, but rapidly dropped after a point as available students were educated. If there does appears to be enough interest, then I'm happy to do the legwork/brainwork to get a course up and running. For what it's worth, all the old Netizen notes have been made open source, take a look at project "spork" on SourceForge.

A larger organization than Netizen was could probably run them quite profitably. > For what it's worth, all the old Netizen notes have been made open > source, take a look at project "spork" on SourceForge. Also the originals are mirrored at http://zoic.org/training/ in PDF, PS, HTML, DocBook. I used to teach from these notes and I think they make a good introductory course. -----sharks
