Poor instruction in the language. A friend of mine took a beginning CGI class at her university. The things she was getting taught were downright appalling, both from a perl perspective and a CGI perspective (If she wasn't in Montana I'dve driven out and smacked her instructor with a clue-by-four).

Ooh, was she lucky.

A friend of mine was subjected to a 2 day perl+cgi class taught by a local outfit that listed perl among the "technologies" they specialize in.

The first half day was spent teaching vi.

The next day and half didn't get all the way through hashes, yet this was billed as a perl+cgi class.

Go figure.
