Do you have access to programming books that deal with other languages? Those should have exercises that you can implement in Perl.

The Monks are very discerning; many times they recognize homework questions. Sometimes SoPW has homework questions unabashedly posted as such. Try Super Search on "homework."

Or Super Search for "Perl Golf." If the questions are too difficult, take a look at the answers, and reverse-engineer them so you understand why they do what they do.

If all else fails, create (and solve) your own small challenges. Tackle just a section of those questions that seem like work.

Good luck,
