That's a rather broad category.  What area are you concerned about?

Do you know perl and netbackup already?  I don't think this forum is
appropriate for teaching perl (or any language's) basics.

What do you want to accomplish?  NBU has many command line interfaces
that are appropriate for automation tools.  'vmquery', 'bpmedialist',
'bpimagelist', 'bppllist' are all especially useful for gathering
information.  And 'vmchange', 'bpexpdate', 'bpduplicate', 'vmphyinv' and
others are useful for making updates and modifications to the
configuration.  The man pages are the best start for those tools, but
some of the output formats are not documented.  You can usually find
them with some good google searching.
