Hi theroninwins,
I guess trying to learn the correct way to code in perl right from the start may actually hamper your progress. Perl is about getting things done. Start by writing Perl code to do basic things and then move on from there. Along the way, expose yourself to other people's code.
It's a bit like learning how to walk (or learning a language). If a child tries to start walking "correctly" when he first learns to walk, he may never learn how to walk, because he'll be preoccupied with doing it right than actually taking small steps towards walking.

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.
