POD would be a good beginner-to-intermediate part.  Other suggestions
would include:

Creating objects in Perl
Perl Best Practices
Creating graphs in Perl

For the beginner-to-intermediate part, I could present an
Introduction to POD.  Some people think POD is an advanced
part of Perl, but it's really quite easy to learn (the talk
is ~15min).  Plus, once you have the basics down, POD can
be a powerful way to document your Perl source.   

OK, enough salesmanship; if the group is interested, I'd
be happy to present.  If not, that's just another set of
slides we're all spared from. :-)
