in reply to Exercises on PERL

The answer is no.

The time is now.

The place is here.

It is now time to code.

Do it.

If you're on a posix system, create a script to automate something you do regularly (maybe on a second user account, and not as root)

If you have a hosting account, write a cgi that shows random pictures or choosed from a random website to jump to.

No more quizes. Code.
You will fail, you will go back to the book you are now very much familiar with, PERL, and you will debug.. and pull out your hair, and fail, and read, and fail, and ...

Then you will succeed, and you will get a gold star on your forehead and fairy dust.
