After looking at your other question, and trying to answer it, I would suggest reading "Learning Perl, 2nd Edition".

Go to www.oreilly.com and check it out.

Remember : Always search the perlmonks.org site for keywords before asking a question. If you don't find it here, try www.google.com. If you don't find it there, ask away. :)
