I know you said this:

  I'd like a course to make *sure* they do

but courses aside, books are still good. In particular, the Andrew L Johnson
book ("Elements of Programming with Perl", as rec'd by davorg) is really
handy when it comes to being:

 a) [...] hit over the head a bit with my, local, strict, good programming
 practices.  Maybe a quick refresher on how arrays, hashes and suchlike
 really work.  (In terms of passing between subroutines and stuff, how
 doing this 'casts' one into the other, the difference between array
 and scalar context.)  Maybe a quick refresher on references.

It has lots of nice diagrams and lucid explanations of all these concepts.

And hey, you've got to love a book that says things like, "Perl solves this
problem in a very relaxed manner".

 But... why??

Why I delurked, or why you won't see much of me on this list? The answer to
both is that I'll only post if I have something useful to contribute, and
seeing as I'm new to perl, that won't be too often.

Hm, seems I've just broken my own rule :)
