    IDE - whatever your fave text editor is smile.gif Textpad or EditPlus arent bad for Windows.

    Books : The Perl Cookbook and the "camel book" are both excellent.

    Seconds on the Camel Book, should get you through no problem.
    It's also good to keep an eye on www.perl.com and www.perlmonks.com

    Get the Visual Quickstart Perl & CGI book. It's quite a good cheap (<£20) and dirty intro into Perl-CGI programming.

    good IDE(if any),

    JEXT. It's free, open source and has Perl support (making it easier to write).
