You have the desire to learn Perl, that's a great start! The difficult part of learning any language is keeping
up the desire and motiviation. The best way to learn a language is to gain experience utilizing it.
A good way to start, think of a goal and create a deadline for yourself... and then GO For IT!! :) Granted, you
may fall into some pitfalls or have questions - but that's natural. You'll learn with each problem and question.
As you finish your project, you'll be amazed on how much you've learned - and you accomplish something as well(either
something fun or useful for work).
Here are some useful nodes:
If you run into any problems, feel free to ask -That's what we're here for (or one reason.. besides learning ourselves).

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
