There are also a number of pre-written freeware/shareware scripts that can be bought/used that you can then modify. This is a great way to "wet your feet" in Perl. You can start at:

CGI Resources
Free Perl Code
Hot Scripts
CGI Directory

I'm sure there are more, but you should be able to find something starting with these.

Please read some of the warnings on PerlMonks concerning these boiler-plate scripts in terms of security, efficiency, etc.

Also take careful note of any copyright issues.

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.
