Please suggestion, I want to get start开发者_如何学编程ed from 0. I do have experience on R.

What's wrong with the documentation available at http://www.bioperl.org ? I found a HOWTO for beginners, and installation instructions for various platforms. If you're looking to learn perl, try http://www.perl.org/books/library.html for some free online textbooks.

The book Mastering Perl for Bioinformatics has a chapter on BioPerl. That chapter is available as a sample from Oreilly.
