Well, I cannot help with tutoring, but two suggestions:

1.  Don't call Randal "Randy". :-)  And Tom Christiansen also played a big
role in that book.
2.  _MacPerl: Power and Ease_ is (IMO) a good book for someone just
starting out with Perl on a Mac.  Some have said they think it, in some
ways, is a better tutorial than _Learning Perl_.  For more info on it see
my web site below.
