The "perlre" the traditional documentation came with Perl isn't really a
beginers guide or a tutorial.  For that you need to see the "perlrequick"
guide that ships with perl 5.8.0.

  http://search.cpan.org/author/JHI/perl-5.8.0/pod/perlrequick.pod

Then you need to go onto the full blown tutorial that is "perlretut"

  http://search.cpan.org/author/JHI/perl-5.8.0/pod/perlretut.pod

All praise Mark Kvale for his hard work here.

Mark.
