I do have some advice for you. Say "Perl" instead of "PERL". Always `use strict`. Always `use warnings`, or add that `-w` option to the shebang. Get a copy of Programming Perl. Get a copy of the Perl Cookbook. Get a copy of Learning Perl. Read the books. Keep coming to PerlMonks, learn from others, learn from the mistakes of others, and start helping folks by answering questions, once you feel ready. Don't be afraid to ask questions on PerlMonks.

One other thing I can add to pbeckingham's list is to check your local community college and see if they offer a Perl course. Great way to learn Perl - besides here of course - and it's usually under $50. Good luck! There is no emoticon for what I'm feeling now.	[reply]

And if your local community college does not give such a course, learn it yourself and then offer the college to give such a course! CountZero "If you have four groups working on a compiler, you'll get a 4-pass compiler." - Conway's Law	[reply]
