Learn SQL sooner than later. I don't endorse any specific book for this, just to say, learn it. It'll help you here AND in the real world.
If you want to learn perl to make the quests in eqemu, the "llama book" (I believe it is actually "Learning Perl" and has a llama on the cover) is a highly recommended one and the one I learned with.
