I had a quick look and like the feel of it. I'm looking forward to the rest as my knowledge in this area is, umm, next to squat!

Here are some booboos and comments for your consideration:
- your mailto link near the bottom of the intro page is "@easystreet,com"
- unnecessary comma near the top of Lesson 1 in "examples, of the scripts"
- you might eventually add a glossary given that you are not requiring detailed Perl knowledge (e.g. I'm not sure "shebang" will be too well known in the non-UN*X crowd, and you could take the pragma definition out of the text)
- spelling: "Excercises" at bottom of Lesson 1 and elsewhere
- you didn't put "Perl is not CGI" in huge flashing bold red letters (grin)!

Thanks for the effort you're putting in on this!
