Sure, but you need to be more specific. Where exactly are you stuck? Best is you post part of your code where you are in trouble.
Also it helps if you tell us which other programming language(s) you are already fluent in.

One general suggestion: As a Perl beginner, start evey program with the following lines:

Code

use strict; 
use warnings FATAL => qw(all); 
use diagnostics;

Once you are experienced enought, you can taylor this section according to your needs...

Parsing a file is one thing, but we would need to know what you want to do with the data afterwards.
