For climbing the Perl learning curve, I recommend the following three
books (in order):
1. "Learning Perl" is the place to start:
http://oreilly.com/catalog/0636920018452/
2. "Perl Cookbook" has useful, idiomatic code snippets with great
explanations. It gives you the building blocks and confidence you need
to start writing useful scripts:

3. "Programming Perl" is the language reference manual. It's for when
you need hard core information. I'd recommend waiting for the new
edition, due out in October:

Perl works the best and is the easiest to use on Unix or Unix-like
machines. If you're on Windows, get virtual machine software and pick a
Linux distribution (I use Debian). "Learning the Unix Operating System"
is the place to start if you don't already know Unix:
