Firewall00 we all started where you are now. None of us was born knowing everything that we know now (except maybe Cop). The best way to get to the next level is the same, whatever level you are at. Read, attempt, ask, then start at read again.

There are plenty of people on this site who know both more and less than you - don't be ashamed to ask questions and to appear stupid - your questions may well be interesting to others. But do try to find answers for yourself first - the chances are that somebody before you has had the same problem.

Welcome to Perl and to Perl Monks - you will find that, in this environment, you will grow rapidly.
