The other day I visited a Java conference where one of the presentations was about how Java is used as the first language in the Computer Science studies at one of the institutes here in Israel.
I wonder how many Universities or other academic institutes teach Perl or use Perl for teaching some concept ? I know that in the Weizmann Institute in Israel (see links at http://rehovot.pm.org/ ) there are two Perl courses (beginner and advanced) for biotechnology students but I'd like to know if there are other institutions out there ? What do you think what concept could be taught where Perl would be a good choice of language ? regards Gabor Szabo
