I started Perl with "Beginning Perl" from WROX. Good book. Did all the
exercises.
Took me about 3 weeks to finish the book.
Realise Perl is not something you can master in months....may take years!
Really
depends on what you need to do with Perl and how often you use it.
I'm still learning after 2 years...

I'm a bigger fan of the perldocs (especially the HTML version that the
ActiveState install generates) than of any Perl book. Searching the
perldocs for a way to do whatever you're trying to do...makes a good
learn-by-using method.
Can't remember the name, but I've seen at least one book that was pretty
close to being a hardbound version of the perldocs anyway.

doing the exercises and writing little scripts as
exercises definitely helps.
depends on what you want to use perl for. I like the
CGI Programming book by O'Reilly....and also Object
Oriented Perl by Damian Conway, if you want to get
into it.
Personally, I think the Programming Perl book is too
much at once...but that's just my reading style.
