I do have some advice for you.
- Say "Perl" instead of "PERL".
- Always use strict. Always use warnings, or add that -w option to the shebang.
- Get a copy of Programming Perl.
- Get a copy of the Perl Cookbook.
- Get a copy of Learning Perl.
- Read the books.
- Keep coming to PerlMonks, learn from others, learn from the mistakes of others, and start helping folks by answering questions, once you feel ready.
- Don't be afraid to ask questions on PerlMonks.
- Don't be put off by merlyn's answers - he loves us really.
