Perldoc is a challenge if you're new, because the syntax can be hard to pick up. But for a good tutorial, a nice printer would go a long way...

I'd say the best 'books' are all on line. Don't underestimate the [lowly] man pages. Or perldoc [-f]. And there are stories and tutorials and good stuff at perl.apache.org or perlmonks.org or www.perl.org [and so on]. Hopefully, your students [or school] has/have the resources necessary to use the on line resources. Good luck! -- .--- ...
