I knew very little of any other language when I started learning Perl.
I found it pretty easy to pick up using the Sam's Teach Yourself Perl in
21 days book....  It does have some typos that get a bit frustrating at
times, but it's concise and well structured.  The O'Reilly "Camel" is
probably the best Perl book out, but i wouldn't recommend it as a first
step since it's quite dense.  If you're already a programmer; Perl ought
to be a snap.  Frankly, I think taking a class would be a waste of money
when the resources you need can be had for free or under $50.  If you
really want to learn it well then read & practice, read & practice...
That's what the prof will tell you to do.
