I've taught some short, intro perl classes and I wrote a short (~150 pages), intro perl book. http://www.greglondon.com/iperl/index.htm My experience has been that there's no "right way" to teach perl, or really to teach anything. There are ways that work for a particular student and ways that don't. And what works for one particular student may not work for another at all. I get emails from folks who read "impatient perl" and said it was really helpful for them. But I'm sure it isn't right for everyone trying to learn perl. The students are what's important. Not the teachers. And speaking of which, I don't think we've heard from our pastry chef turned programmer since the original question was posted. I hope that means they found an answer to their question somewhere in all the responses.
