excellent stuff haukex ++

In light of what exercises to use, for the novices it would be more appropriate to use something like a cookbook approach, where a cookbook example with a simple bug/error that the student could follow a debug procedure might be more effective. This is the kind of thing where examples could be autogenerated for practice, but a simple example can be used to show the process.

For intermediate to advanced users I would like to see something along the lines of a project based tutorial that say shows how to install perl4, and then progress through upgrading it to perl 5

There would be many exercises and learnings to be had from this, that would also reinforce good coding practices such as documentation, and versioning, as well as viewing the development process and getting a feel for what Perl is about.

I feel that it would be good to get people familiar with the collaborative side of things at the earliest practicable stage of learning.

which came first, the boot or the strap?
