I checked ActivePerl, it promises to make things easy for you, but should you allow them to ? Think about it, if you are going to put yourself a habit of being spoon fed, I believe you are not going to go too far. Rather install the perl interpreter on your own. Write programs in an editor rather than in a fancy IDE, try setting up CPAN modules yourself sometimes, believe me it's not that hard, I've done it. Browse the documentation on your own.
You'll need a few links here they are :
http://www.perl.org/
http://perldoc.perl.org/

Edit : There is also a forum dedicated to Perl here post your further questions regarding perl there, I'm sure you will also get a lot of help there.
