Hello, Mangesh. Thank you for your interest in a PAUSE ID. I applaud your interest in learning about Perl. [By the way, the language is "Perl" and the binary is "perl" and no one really says "PERL" anymore.]
You don't need a PAUSE ID to learn Perl or participate in the community. PAUSE ID's are intended for people who are ready to contribute something to the world-wide CPAN library. Let me suggest you start learning Perl first and then later we'd love to see you contributing to CPAN and you can reapply for a PAUSE ID at that time. If you're looking for general information about Perl, perl.org is a great place to start. For books, I highly recommend "Learning Perl" (if you're new to programming) or "Modern Perl" (if you already know other programming languages). The latter will have a free PDF version available later this month: http://www.onyxneon.com/books/modern_perl/index.html If you're looking for a good community to ask questions as you go, perlmonks.org is a great site dedicated to Perl and stackoverflow.com is a more general community but has a fair number of Perl participants. Welcome to Perl!
