I took the Practical Perl course at Harvard Extension a few years back and really enjoyed it. You can do it distance ed if you want, but I liked the class and sections. http://practicalperl.com/ > Is the butrain.com course worth $2000? > > http://butrain.com/share/scedesc.asp?CID=7265 I have a hard time believing that a 5 day programming course is worth two grand. It smells... Enterprisey. I say you're much better off buying Schwartz's "Learning Perl" and tackling a project at work so you're motivated to Do Something Meaningful To You.
