Welcome, shankonit!

There are many books by many great authors available to help you learn Perl. A couple widely recommended (and for good reason) titles are Higher Order Perl by Dominus and Modern Perl by chromatic.

There are also many web resources available, many reams of code on CPAN, plus the rest of us monks on this site to help you when you have questions.

Perl6, as you recognize, is a separate project based on Perl5. It is an evolving language, and if you want to help with that effort, start with the resources on http://perl6.org.

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.


Problems? Is your data what you think it is?
