I was very endeared by the responses to this quesuestion (and a little by the question) and I shout at the top of my lungs:

Tutorials

Library

good readin', so go read

after reading perldata and perlsyn in the library (among other things) and playing with stuff, you can go to tutorials, make sure you got the perl basics, and then read the tutorial on DBI and perhaps even HTML::TokeParser (the 2 tools you'll most likely need). And before you even begin writing code, use strict and -w. Here is starting_point.pl, which you execute by typing perl starting_point.pl
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;
my $variable = "is strict compliant";
print "My \$variable ", $variable;
print qq'Hello world\n';
