I can see you are either new to programming or being paid per line of code. To improve, you need to master the art of abstraction.

Based on your sample program, you don't need to get that fancy, just need to master the basics: functions, loops, arrays and hashes. See also:
As for learning Perl, take a look at learn.perl.org and Perl Tutorial Hub. Also, be sure to refer to the Perl online documentation. Good luck!
