Simalarity to a preknown language (PERL is close to Javascript and Basic)

Er... no. not really. Perl (never PERL) has its root in C, shell scripting, sed and awk. It's not very similar at all to Javascript or BASIC.

A good Book (im using one from QUE)

If you gave use the title then we could give you opinions on you book. There are a number of Perl books out there and 90% of them are rubbish. To learn Perl the best books are probably Learning Perl, Perl: The Programmers Companion or Elements of Programming with Perl.

A place to test scripts (I STILL dont have a good one...)

What's wrong with the system that you posted this message from? Perl runs on just about any platform. There's even a pre-built binary version for many of them (including Windows). If you're testing CGI scripts, then Apache is the best web server and that is also available free for just about any platform.
