Kirk,
The most popular tutorial book for Perl is "Learning Perl" by Randal
Schwartz et al. . I started learning from it, and look where I am now
*grin*
The 3rd edition should be coming out next month, so you may want to hold
off on it and read some online docs 'till then, as it will probably have
a lot of good stuff in it.
I personally don't trust any books that include a duration in the title :)
Cheers,
C.J.
