In 30+/-years at $work(EE doing realtime software), I found that if I got the data structures correct, the code usually flowed. If not, things got messy fast. Also, read all the code you can from acknowledged Perl experts(for me in the early days this was reading the Data General RDOS and AOS operating system code).

Domain knowledge is as important as Perl knowledge(You want to control a power system give me a call, develop a website not your man).

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.
