You're crazy
Perl is a bit cryptic for a beginner.

yeah i chekd out python and c++, the tutorials an all, but c...they just start off immediately giving me instructions on what to do

Go for python tutorials -- or better yet, books. You can do C or C++, but you'll have to learn more before you can start being productive. In a couple days with python, you'll be surprisingly productive.

Sometimes when first learning a language, you have to accept that some things just work until you have learned a sufficient amount to comprehend what is actually happening. I've never been a big fan of online tutorials. I'd check amazon for book reviews and purchase a good book on whatever language you want to learn. If you would like to see what books other people at this forum have used to learn certain programming languages, just ask.
