What? You must be kidding. Writing Perl code is certainly and by far the most important step to learn the language. Using tutorials and books is certainly very important, but the only right way to learn a language (whether a spoken language or a programming language) is to practice it.

Of course. It's just that my second offer was for the case when OP does not want to learn perl. I said "either learn, or ask someone else to write" :)
