How does it work? Download it and try it for yourself! I'd recommend Fedora or Ubuntu to get you started.

You mean Perl, and yes, it is a great lang/tool to have in your arsenal if you are going to learn the ins and outs of a Linux OS. But, regarding the OS itself, even more important than Perl is Bash - learn that first (if you don't know it already, that is).
