So I have a couple of 'new starts' at work (long story), and they have been using things like https://www.udemy.com/ to familiarise themselves with HTML and JavaScript. When done properly the interface/online IDE works well, other times it seems less thought through (as does some of the course material, from experience that's always the thing which really drags such things down, more so than a clunky interface), however I agree that the general principal of such a thing would be a real nice to have for perl (via learn.perl.org perhaps?), and if I had the time (for the foreseeable future I won't) I'd be keen to pursue something along these lines. The only thing I don't agree with would be starting with Perl 4. Kick off with a modern perl, and modern practices. Nice talking to you about things in the chatterbox today.

Update: Run Perl 5 in the Browser! was updated to include some newer things relating to this, see the links at the end of the first post.
