This is the place to start if Perl is your first language.  This
book goes at a slower pace than Programming Perl; it's intended
for a person with less programming experience, so it takes a
little more time explaining things like associative arrays,
scalar data, regular expressions, flow control, and so forth.  I
still look at this book because I started here.  I don't have
much of a programming background, so it was good for me.

If you're into programming quite a bit already, you probably just
want to go right to Programming Perl.
