Aren't there forums about perl that you can go to for help?
You'll probably need to buy a book if you can't find any decent perl tutorials.

If wish to work with PERL on your home computer, you can get 'instant server' package, XAMPP - http://apachefriends.org
After you download main package you also can download PERL plugin and install it.
About learning... The best way would be to search some simple, already made scripts and than testing them, see how they work, which line does what, than modify something just a bit based on how other stuff looks and works. It shouldn't be too long until you figure out the syntax, and than you're pretty much set, you just need to gradually expand your knowledge.
Basically, try to figure out as much things on your own as you can instead of reading tutorials which will just throw a lot of info on you and get you confused.
Well, that is at least how I learned all programing languages I know now, and in my opinion it's the best way to learn.
