A place to start your search might be the PerlMongers website at

http://www.perl.org/

However, being a novice myself, I don't know which of the sites accessible 
from there is the best to proceed to. If you think you might prefer Python 
(as some people do), then you might like to check out the Python website at

http://www.python.org/

I hope this helps.
