I only read till 15 pages, progressed so slow, and sometimes choked by understanding the "pack". really hard for me to understand it, so I just skip. meanwhile I also did some search.
pack() is difficult to understand, and most of the time, unneeded. I suggest you skip it and come back when you have more experience.
Also, I suggest you get a syntax-highlight editor. It will highlight keywords like substr so if you accidentally type in subst, you can tell you made an mistake because it's not highlighted. Check out Padre: http://padre.perlide.org/
