It's not just books that make me learn something. When I don't know or understand something. A book helps me guide to understand the basics. After I understand the basics, and want to get then hang of it to really understand it I still need practical experience. LIke you said after too many books your head hits the table, same for me.

So if I want to learn perl or python,I read a book that helps me understand it and work the exercises. After I get the feeling I get the basics. I work on getting practical experience and understanding ,cuz practical understand of something helps me learn far more than just theoretical :)

Anyways I've decided to start with python first after giving it a lot of thought. I may decide to have a look at perl also once I get the hang of python. Since I Have to start somewhere python seems the most logical for me to start with. Thanks for all of your replies, really appreciate all the responses.

Anyways I would still appreciate that reading list for once I start with perl after I get the hang of python if you don't mind helping me with that?

I did buy two books

You are lucky that works for you.  I try book and courses and my
head hits the table.  The only way I learn is by actually writing
something I need.  And I write myself copious notes with examples
