Anyone know where a good place to learn Perl is? Or what you use to write it? I downloaded a program called activePerl but when I try to open it it pops up a ms-dos window and then closes it right back.

Perl is just text so you can use any text editor you like to write it. I would imagine that Perl IDEs exist too.

You can try http://www.perl.com which is an O'Reilly Perl site. I learned Perl CGI stuff ages ago using the O'Reilly Perl books and one of those 'Teach Yourself Perl CGI in 21 days' books.

Good luck,
Paul
