After spending the last 18 months in London, the time has come to head back to Auckland, New Zealand. Now, for some reason, Perl never really took hold NZ, at least at the places I worked at.

Now I'm thinking that one way I could spread the word is to share what Perl knowledge I do have with people who might be interested in learning (about) the language. I'm not sure where to aim this - perhaps as an after-hour course offered by a community/technical college. However, I'm not interested in actually writing a whole course. It sounds like a lot of work, and I was hoping maybe there were some course notes out there that I could use...

Feedback, ideas appreciated

(BTW - I don't profess to be a Perl guru, but I know enough to use in my job -- I understand data structures, common modules like DBI, writing OO modules etc.)
