Go to your local library and ask for "Learning Perl," (Schwartz and 
Christiansen, O'Reilly &
Associates, aka "The Llama book").  It's in the second edition now, but the 
first will get you
up to speed in a week or two.  After that, use the web sites that have been 
suggested until you
can afford "Programming Perl, 2nd edition" (Wall, Chritiansen & Schwartz, 
O'Reilly & Associates,
aka "The camel book").  I know a lot of people who write perl for a living, and 
every last one
of them learned from the llama book, and uses the camel book as a preferred 
reference.

If there's no way for you to get ahold of "Learning Perl," then get back to me, 
and maybe I can
loan you my copy of the first edition for the price of postage.

Check out http://www.mcp.com/personal/

A pretty good selection of (fairly) current books.  The only problem I
have is that they are heavy on Micro$tuff.  However, there are several
Linux and Unix titles, too.

I use wwwoffle to grab a whole book at a time, then read at my leisure. 
All you need is an e-mail address.

Does anyone know if there are any good sites on the web for learning
perl?  I really want to learn it soon, but don't have any extra money
to buy any books right now.

Thanks,
