I would actually hold off buying the Camel book until you've decided that you are interested in learning the language in great depth. there's no doubt it's a great book but it's taken me about a twelve month to actually get some decent use out of it - if I hadn't have hung on in there until I had made some sense of it it would have been a waste of money.

If you want a great perl course then the Llama by merlyn I think is the best there is. If you want some coding help then probably it woud be best to look on google with a suitable phrase - there's people out there worKing for very reasonable prices

My best advice though is to go back to the makers of the script and see if they would help you to get it off the ground. My experience is that most perl script writers will do what it takes to make their product work. Even if it costs a few scheckels extra it might not be as much as someone new starting afresh.
