You are not alone. I've also just returned to Perl, although I was just beginning to really learn it when taken away by an illness.
The ability to learn is like a muscle, it atrophies without use. We have to keep coming back to the task and exercise that muscle until it regains its strength.
Have patience with yourself. Good luck!
