Absolutely. Just start writing code. You'll only truly learn by doing. Just like you can study Italian in a classroom, but until you go to Italy you don't really learn how to use it. Studying Perl from a book will give you the rules, the grammar, the parameters. But it's after you sort through a dozen server error messages to make your code work, that you will really learn a computer language. Having said that, I never really learned Perl until I got to the monastery. Why? Because the books may talk about "use strict" but it's importance doesn't really get emphasized until a dozen experienced monks rip into your code and make it an issue. Take it in stride, they are only watching out for you. Now, write some code and post it here, we look forward to it.
