Forgive me if I don't answer to your questions, but I believe you simply can't sit down for {your favourite number here} years and hope to become a {your favourite language here}. This rule is even stronger for Perl.
Then, what makes a good Perl programmer?
In my experience, it is the analysis of other people source code (CPAN!), ideas, algorithm principles and implementations, computer science books, ability to learn, ... whatever makes you a better programmer independently? from the language you actually use.
Perl just happens to be a very entertaining and powerful way to express our programming ideas into source code.

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).
