Let's also then pose the question the other way around... If the Extension School were to bring back the Perl class, how many people would be interested in taking it, either of less experienced programmers on the list here or people you know? Can we also show that the demand exists? Would your company or place of business recommend it for new programmers? Please also tell me if it would be more appealing if it were offered as a distance ed course, that one could attend online instead of coming to Cambridge. Again, feel free to write me off-list...

     Thanks,                            Jan

However, when our previous Perl instructor moved to New Hampshire to run an organic farm, there was no one interested in taking over the class, so it ended, and Perl hasn't been taught at HES for some years now.

I did submit a proposal to take over that class, but I was told there was not enough interest on the student side when we last discussed this three years ago.

If you think restarting the Perl class is possible, I would be interested - please contact me privately. I had worked out a full syllabus and examples for a considerable number of classes, they must be stashed in my attic somewhere :) Modern Perl would require me to update those, but it would still be a good starting point.
