Analogous to Perl & Math: A Quick Reference, I think there could be a tutorial about Perl for biologists. From time to time I can see SoPW questions pop up about DNA sequence parsing and so on, and it seems from projects like BioPerl and EnsEMBL that Perl is quite popular with biologists. I volunteer to write such a node, if I get the impression you think it's a good idea.
