You need to set yourself a task that is a) small and b) gives you feedback for your efforts.

Here's an example.
By small I mean, write a program that takes guest comments from a form.
A guest comments app.
It should store all entries to a simple text file, simply concatenate.
It should have a cli(command line interface) only, forget wui (web user interface) right now.

Write your script to work such as .. # perl ./myscript 'this is my comment'.
It should save the time , the name of the user logged into the terminal, and the comment. It should freak out if there's no comment.

Once *this* "very simple" program is made, *afterwards* you can worry about a grapical interface, different storage methods, displaying the comments, etc etc etc.

Start small and set out to do something that gives you feedback for your efforts, that shows you some functionality right away for your effort.
Start small.

Start small, very small. Be humble- write something very simple. Imagine you *are* brand new to computers.

Gotta tell ya though, your nick doesn't inspire solidarity here.
