It occurs to me that while most of the advice given will possibly work, none of them strike me as being much fun-- for neither your unfortunate friend nor his potential students. Were I you, the advice I would give would be two part. Firstly, prepare for the class in as professional a manner as possible, which presumably would cover many of the suggestions thus far. Secondly, establish at the onset that the class would be a collabrative effort, i.e. EVERYONE is there to learn Perl. The notion that students teach not just themselves but even the teacher might be just the thing that pulls this trick off!

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
