Hi Bob,

"Learning Perl" is the recommended book for starting out.  It's also much
shorter than "Programming Perl", and has a number of sample exercies.

Or look at one of the on-line tutorials listed at:
http://www.intelinfo.com/

Also, you can minimize the number of things you have to remember by using
Perl's built-in help system:
    perldoc -f functionname
e.g.,
    perldoc -f sort
to get help on the built-in function 'sort'. 
   
Good luck,
Susan Kleinmann
