The book you want for this is Intermediate Perl by Randal L. Schwartz. There are not only great explanations, but also exercises of the type you are looking for. Well worth the investment. | [reply] |

perlmonks, perlreftut, Data::Dumper; personally, I really liked the programming perl book. I called it the bible for a long time. That was back in the 2nd edition epoch I think.
If you're like me, you'll get a lot out of
perl -MData::Dumper -e 'print "", Dumper([ {lol=>7}, qw(oh, I get it) ]), "\n"'...
