in thread Maintainable Code?

I love the idea, but does it work when there is so much difference in the level of knowledge?

That man needs a Perl course before (or gets it during pair programming). I am not sure that this is a situation, when to introduce pair programming.

    It does presume that both developers are reasonably competent. Now you might pair a guru with a newer programmer, but I'd expect that the newer programmer ought to be able to right decent code already.
