Hi:

This question arises periodically. You can begin with this guide:

http://docs.hp.com/en/B2355-90046/index.html

I suggest that you concentrate on the Posix shell - for HP-UX it's a superset of the Korn shell as well as the standard for HP.

There is no better way to learn scripting then to write. An excellent source of good techniques is Heiner's site:

Hi Suresh,

O'reilly's "Learning Perl" is an excellent starting point. Programming Perl, Perl Cookbook and Advanced Perl Programmimg might be good order to go to the advanced levels. You have to learn regular expressions and
then master Perl's extended regular expressions. There are lot of stuff on the net for Shell Programming and Perl as well.

Here is some links to start with:
http://www.ebb.org/PickingUpPerl/pickingUpPerl_toc.html
http://www.perl.org/books.html

If you want 2 spend money:
