in reply to Advice from elders for a newbie

Any tips,...

Answer perl questions that are asked here on perlmonks - or any other place that you happen to frequent, for that matter.

IMO, when it comes to learning, answering questions is (in general) much more effective than asking them.
(I learnt lots of perl by answering questions ... after a while I even started to get some of the answers right ;-)

Cheers,
