in reply to Perl as a second language
But how can I convince them to take a look at Perl and to come to this short (half or one day long) training?
Anyonbe who attends gets free booze, cookies, ... ?
No really, I think you have to find out for what they use their primary language for and then you can show them how much easier it is to use Perl for these tasks.
If Perl is not the better language for what they are doing, then you are fighting a lost battle anyhow.

A program should be light and agile, its subroutines connected like a string of pearls. The spirit and intent of the program should be retained throughout. There should be neither too little or too much, neither needless loops nor useless variables, neither lack of structure nor overwhelming rigidity." - The Tao of Programming, 4.1 - Geoffrey James
