Unfortunately, not all tech schools (even ones with "tech" in their name) offer courses in Perl.

What's worse, other books required for the same course included "Beginning Windows NT Administration" as well as various web adminstration pocket references. I find it amusing how my school makes sure every prospective student knows that they are on top of current computing trends by teaching Java as the introductory language, but yet still are under the impression that Perl eq Web.
