I've actually got a course that I call
<http://www.iterative-software.com/training/idiomatic-perl.html>Idiomatic Perl
I've run it a few times under circumstances that sound
very similar to yours and it's proved very popular.
The most popular parts seem to be:
- The importance of use strict and
-w
- foreach, grep and map
- Overview of modules in the standard distribution
- Overview of useful CPAN modules
- Writing your own modules
- Where to go for more information
I'm hoping to run a cut-down version of the course as
a tutorial at various Perl conferences next year.

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).

Want more info? How to link
or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
