I presume you have already found the Tutorials section here. Once you are beyond the stage of simply closing your eyes or hurriedly looking away at the sight of a chunk of Perl script I strongly recommend that you look at the questions and answers in the Seekers of Perl Wisdom section here. That will give you a wide exposure to applications of Perl from the very mundane to the highly esoteric - just pick the questions you feel somewhat comfortable with or that seem applicable to your area of interest and then squeeze all the juice out that you can get.
Using Seekers of Perl Wisdom as a learning resource is a really good way of finding out about a lot of tricks, traps and generally cool stuff as well as getting a good feel for how to write practical Perl well.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).

or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
