A good place to start is here at perlmonks.

Read the posts here. Understand them. Find and offer answers to questions and solutions to problems. Through this you will practice and learn a lot about perl, learn a bit about what help others need, what interests you and where you have the ability to contribute.

Eventually you may find problems for which the best solution is an enhancement to a Perl module, or a new module or even a bug fix or enhancement to perl itself.

When you have a specific objective in mind you can ask for guidance here. You will receive good advice, including pointers to other forums when they are appropriate.

Through this you will be participating in the Perl project, practicing and learning.

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.
