I am new to any scripting language. But, still I worked on scripting a bit like tailoring other scripts to work for my purpose. For me, what is the best online resource to learn Perl?

It is one of the oldest programming languages, but it is still one of the top-paying technologies. One might think that Perl is dead already, and there is no point in learning Perl, but if you have some Perl experience, you will still be in demand. Therefore, this programming language is worth learning in 2022.
Learning Perl is worthwhile because it is ubiquitous on Unix-like systems and Perl-compatible regular expressions are the defacto standard regular expression syntax. Perl may not be as popular now as it was in the past, but it is still around and lots of legacy systems that were written in Perl are still in active use.
As a rough guide, expect to spend up to two months learning the basics of Perl, with an hour of study per day. If you want to use Perl professionally, you need to study for up to six months to build the understanding you would need to use Perl to the extent required in the workplace.
If you already know a bit of perl, PerlMonks is a great online resource. You can ask questions in their Seekers of Perl Wisdom section and the answers are often of very high quality. Many people who keep up with the latest developments in Perl hang out there.
As an added bonus, if you ask a clear question, many times the people there take the time to look at the underlying problem and will point out alternate approaches rather than simply taking your question at face value.
