In addition to the books and links posted above, there is also the Getting Started With Perl Tutorials here at The Monastery.
As a good beginning book, I like Learning Perl by Randal L. Schwartz & Tom Christiansen.
One collection that I recommend is The Perl CD Bookshelf. I keep a copy on my laptop for both reading and reference. As the blurb on the O'Reilly site states: Included are the second edition of Perl in a Nutshell (paperback version included), the third editions of Learning Perl and Programming Perl, the Perl Cookbook, and 3 new titles: Perl & XML, Perl & LWP, and Mastering Perl/Tk. Formatted in HTML, The Perl CD Bookshelf, Version 3.0, can be accessed with any web browser and includes a master index for the entire library.

You just need to look a bit around to find all the information you need to get started with learning Perl. A good starting point is:
learn.perl.org

I would actually hold off buying the Camel book until you've decided that you are interested in learning the language in great depth. there's no doubt it's a great book but it's taken me about a twelve month to actually get some decent use out of it - if I hadn't have hung on in there until I had made some sense of it it would have been a waste of money.
If you want a great perl course then the Llama by merlyn I think is the best there is. If you want some coding help then probably it woud be best to look on google with a suitable phrase - there's people out there worKing for very reasonable prices
My best advice though is to go back to the makers of the script and see if they would help you to get it off the ground. My experience is that most perl script writers will do what it takes to make their product work. Even if it costs a few scheckels extra it might not be as much as someone new starting afresh. | [reply] |

How can I learn this - I would recommend the Camel book (Programming Perl).
get some very affordable help - What's your definition of "very affordable"?
Update: Added link to "Programming Perl" thanks to jeffa..
cheers,

edoc,
In addition to the Camel, there is also "CGI Programming With Perl" by the same publisher. As far as affordable - I would look into our very own Ovid's Web Programming With Perl course - it's free.
Cheers - L~R

At the risk of blasphemy, another good book for getting started with Perl and cgi is the Sams "Learning Perl in 24 hours". It helped me get started. The camel book might be hard at first, but get it as soon as you are ready. The llama is a very good introduction, but if memory serves me, does not have much about cgi.

require "Help::WithScript";
use phone;
connect TO_SCRIPT_MAKER;
print "How does this thing you sent to me work?";
Seriously, didn't the makers of the script send you any instructions on how to connect the pieces together? No documentation? I would think that if they sent you both pieces of code they could assist you to get it up and running. | [reply]
