You might want to get "Catalyst" by Jonathan Rockway, ISBN 978-1-847190-95-6 Also maybe read up on the Template::Toolkit module.
As for "importing" a perl library (called "modules" in Perl linguo), not very difficult : - find it on CPAN (http://kobesearch.cpan.org/) - install it - in your program, add a "use my::module;" line. That's all there is to it (well, almost ;-) ).
The on-line documentation for most perl modules is also excellent, and a really good source of information about the general theme the module is about. I recommend it even to people who have no intention of ever using Perl.
