From the looks of that conversation, i would say that the
chances of convincing the 'Dean' that Perl should be in the
curriculum is mighty slim. The conversation turns from you offering your services to Perl Versus The World!!!
Seems like a very unwinnable fight. (At this point, i am
interested in what this Dean's opinions of Python and Ruby
are as well.)
How about contacting your local Perl Mongers Group? If there
isn't one - start one! Advertise at this trade school. You
may not have as many students show up as you would if you
taught at their school, but a few is better than none. And
when it comes to the best, there are fewer of those than the
rest.

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).

are good places to start.
