Probably not (depending on how 'beginner' you are). For a real beginner, your money might better be spent buying an IDE or finding a text editor with Perl syntax highlighting to help keep you from spending too much time on the little mistakes. If you then become more confident with Perl and find that you are using it more often and/or are implementing it in an enterprise, then it can be a very useful tool to have around. My best advice would be to go to ActiveState's website and go through all of the things that come with the Perl Dev Kit. With each one, ask yourself how useful it would be to you. I think you'll find some great utilities for expanding the power of your production code, but it won't necessarily help you learn the language as a beginner.
