Yeah, I learned Perl back in the V4 days; I was sort of new to linux admin though a programmer in school and after learning sed/awk/grep to handle digesting logs and munging data files I heard of Perl. It was a bit like finding crack cocaine, all sorts of tasks became easy and I wrote scripts to handle everything. Having a need was the motivation, not following the books, though I did have a copy of Programming Perl that had about 40 scotch tape tabs marking places for reference. Other books, the Perl Monks site and finally a near-by Perl Mongers group really helped me find the Perl communtiy.
