I'm not sure Perl shines. It's more of a dull glint from the polish on a well used tool! But PerlMonks is definitely a good reason to continue using Perl. As with any language, you don't need to learn all of it before you start using it in earnest. Perl has built in DWIMery (Do What I Mean) that often means Perl does what you intend without you needing to think too hard about it and when that fails, we are here to help. Welcome aboard.
And if you continue the quality shown in your first post, you won't have any trouble getting help.

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).

or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
