Do you know Perl already? If not then it really is beneficial to learn some
things about the language first. Perl has some concepts that are different
from other languages, particularly context. I would recommend the Modern
Perl book http://onyxneon.com/books/modern_perl/

Linux is always a good choice. As for making your own Perl tools, remember
that one of the strengths of Perl is CPAN and the willingness of Perl
authors to share their tools, so that you don't have to reinvent them every
time. Thats not to say that you can't, just that you don't have to.

As Andy said in his email, join the p5p mailing list. Working on the core
of Perl is a major undertaking, and anyone asking this question here likely
has much learning to do before becoming a core contributor. Sadly the Perl
core is not developed via github, it is hosted on its own server.

Good luck and happy Perling!
