That's what it is. A script. I will be speaking it almost as is, though
I will have to throw in examples here and there. Also will have to

perl5 for dummies is really bad. I wouldn't recommend it. I'd actually
recommend starting with Elements of programming with perl. Even Llama is
good to start with. Agreed, Camel is not for beginners, but is good after
you've gone through Llama.
Fact: I've never read a Perl book yet.
