Randal's already said they're not going to rewrite the Llama book
(learning perl) for perl 5, since the new features aren't really
appropriate for beginners anyway.
But yes, get learning perl, then camel2.
There's another O'Relliy book about CGI programming, perhaps this
might be useful to you as well.
Enjoy,
Andrew.
