Then Perl is too high level to deal with such details.

I'd recommend you read a good book on operating system design, I've heard that "Modern Operating Systems" by Tannenbaum should be quite good (though never read it myself).

    Of course, reading Tanenbaum and then trying to use Linux is not necessarily for everybody :). But having a general grasp of operating systems is recommendable and I assume that Tanenbaum knows how to teach the basics of operating systems in general and the specifics of a good operating system as well.
