Hello oldB51 and welcome to the monastery and to the wonderful world of Perl!

you can find interesting this recent thread: Workflow / Setup Questions where perl IDE are discussed.

See also RFC: Perl Learning Plan where I mention Modern Perl Book: worth to read even if not for beginners.

I loved a lot the ancient Perl Cookbook which can offer you a wide panorama about how many things Perl is good at (remember is an old book but many approaches presented here are basically still valid).

Pay attention to links posted by eyepopslikeamosquito: our best link collector :) (I try to mimicry them in my chaotic bibliotheca)

There are no rules, there are no thumbs..
Reinvent the wheel, then learn The Wheel; may be one day you reinvent one of THE WHEELS.
