I'm not sure. I think David does a good job at adapting this tutorial to 
his audience, but I don't think he will be covering very basic perl 
things, and asking basic questions like 'What's a hash?' might be 
frustrating to others.

How about this as a compromise. This applies to anyone else who is in a 
similar situtation.

Since I would like to have a full house (The room seats 70 people), and I 
would rather someone be a bit lost, than have an empty seat, wait until 
next Thursday, April 3rd and then sign up. If someone else was truely 
interested, they had their fair chance by then. The webpage should tell 
you that you are on the waiting list once 70 people have signed up.

Seem fair?

Another comment, this is open to everyone who is interested. Pass the
announcement email on to other who might be interested. I gave people on
the mailing list a day or so headstart before telling others.
