Here's some food for thought. Check this article and the relative meditation on this site. My personal advice is related to database programming. You should explain when to use perl and when to delegate the task to a database engine. For example, comparing large lists of records and making statistics out of them is a task for a DBMS, rather than a candidate for a perl script. Of course, in such case you should introduce the beauty of the DBI. Also the opposite cases are interesting, when people try to do in SQL things that should be better left to perl. As an example, parsing and cleaning data before storing it into a database is a perfect job for perl, which is the best companion tool for every database administrator.
