STFUAWSC. I've been told off for being rude. My intent was honourable even if the execution lacked finesse. My suggestion is: Just Write Some Code. This will get you started much better than reading books. Write some code, then read some documentation, improve your code, add some tests, make your code shorter/faster/clear. Rinse and repeat.

Hi Rick, One of the ways I improved my code when I first started with Perl was to sign up to PerlMonks.org (http://PerlMonks.org) and participate in that community. They are very friendly to beginners there. You might want to learn programming as a private person as you'll find a great distrust of recruiters in tech communities.
