Anon Monk,
If you are looking for anything in particular, do ask in the seekers of Perl wisdom. You will get prompt answers. If you are looking for a place to start, i suggest, Learning Perl from O'Reilly. Thats what i used. The key is to actually try writing scripts from what you learn. Do the exercises in the book. And if you ever get stuck, come here and ask, everyone will be more than happy to help. Trying not to sound like a broken record, but practice practice practice. I didn't really understand how to script until i wrote some and got help where i got stuck. Good luck and happy scripting.
