The man pages are excellent. my advice, run through them in this order:
perldata, perlsyn, perlop - These you can finish in an hour cause they
are similar to other languages (C).
perlvar, perlsub - built in vars and making subroutines
perlfunc, perlopentut - Functions you will use over and over. Just
run through perlfunc and come back
everytime you need a func. Memorise
opentut
perlipc, Socket.pm - These are for socket programming
You can use perldoc for the pod's -> perldoc Socket, perldoc perlipc,
perldoc perldoc etc. For individual functions -> perldoc -f func
Also, read through whatever you find interesting in the faq.
If you still need books, Llama (Learning Perl) is good for beginners,
Camel (Programming Perl) is for more advanced, Elements of Programming
using Perl is good anyway.
