in reply to perl learnings track

The idea is good. The plan is marginal and the Topic choice is pretty dodgy!

Can you really assimilate all there is to know, or even get an idea of what there is to learn, in a day? Some of your sample topics are vastly bigger than a day's work.

I'd put Closures way down the list. On the other hand things like Perl syntax (perlsyn) which includes flow control ought be right up the top somewhere. There are several weeks worth of Perl functions to learn about to say nothing about operators - those all ought to be there before Perl Variables even.

After you have sorted that lot out then you can move on to one of the core features of Perl: Perl regular expressions.

Once you have that lot under your belt come back for object oriented stuff, modules, ...
