I'm not sure if this is the place you should be asking this.. but anyway...

If you have no clue about Linux, its probably easiest for you to start with either
Mandrake or
Red Hat or even
Suse

I've tried a few of the other distributions, and although other opinions may differ, I think these are currently the easiest to install...

You might want to check out LinuxNewbie with attention to their NHF (newbie-ized help files, I think they're called) as a good place to start on your discovery of Linux... a good book or two on Linux might also not be amiss ;o)

If you want the distributions in an easy to download format, go to LinuxISO and get ISO (CD images).. burn the CD images onto CD-R, and you're good to go..

I started using Linux not so long ago, and I currently run Red Hat 7.0.. relatively painless install..

oh, btw, all the distros contain Perl 5.6, so testing Perl scripts is possible with all of them...
