Exercises? There are a multitude of things to do. The great thing about perl is in its exploration. Think of something and just do it!

Take a look at the Tutorials They can give you ideas on what to play.

You can also take a look at the Code Catacombs. People submit stuff for people to use. See if you can convert something and or improve it

It may sound like a great deal but that's how I learned. Each new attempt always teaches me something.

But if you need real newbie stuff. I would suggest playing around with arrays, hashing, and map. Try stuff like reversing, deleting, add and sorting. If you are going to do Web stuff, try the CGI. Again Tutorials will help you....

After you think you are good, try some obfuscation!

Just some ideas and welcome to the fold
