Learning Perl 5th ed. by Randal, Tom, and brian is the best book for what
you want. If you want a video, there is my Perl Fundamentals (informit
link below). And if you want an online instruction course, the O'Reilly
School of Technology (last link below).
You're just counting how many times a pronoun shows up in a list of words
extracted from text. The core of such code will be something like:
$is_pronoun{lc $word} and $count{lc $word}++;
