First of all, I would encourage those Perl scripts to be licensed under some form of Open Source license. I would, in fact, love to see them myself.

Second, I like the idea of a mandatory class in "computer literacy" - and not how to use a keyboard or mouse, or do 27 simple things with Windows. No, the course should cover the proper care and feeding of a PC - from safe surfing practices, to proper patching, to the importance of not stealing others' work. Maybe a couple of shifts in a NOC or help desk could be thrown in.
