And once again, welcome!

In one of your replies I noticed you're learning perl to build a website... One of the most wonderfull things about perl is the availability of tons of modules which can make your life easier...

I can recommend CGI::Debug if you want to do CGI style-development.

If your hosting party is flexible and you can have them add some configuration to your server (hopefully Apache) you can consider using PLP which was created by our fellow monk Juerd.

As for books; I swear by Learning Perl and Programming Perl by O'Reilly. The Cookbook can save you a lot of time, and Advanced Perl Programming is great if you want to learn the really cool stuff...

And a general tip; use us! Post your questions on perlmonks, and visit #perlhelp on irc...

Good luck and have fun...

Update: If this is the first time you'll be building a website application, I'd definitely recommend investing some time in understanding the HTTP protocol and it's mechanics.

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
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).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
