Whilst unrelated to Perl, this is definetely related to programming and high school. Make mention of basic programming for calculators. Writing math programs for my TI-83+ has been one of the biggest payoffs for me from my programming skills. I've made many one hour assignments take 10-15 minutes. Right now I have a program that graphs trigometric functions from A and B, also giving me the amplitude, period, xscl, and xmax.
