You're OK. Perl is just different from what most people are used to. e.g. my CS modules at university (about 3 years ago) mostly used Java, and I have mostly hobby experience of C/C++, but I'd probably feel like you do now if I suddenly tried to do enterprise Java, use C++ templates, use C# or even use Perl in any meaningful way (my main work language is Delphi, although I do support some Perl projects I didn't develop).

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).

Want more info? How to link
or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
