I'd recommend "Learning Perl" but that might be a little too
simplistic since you already know how to program. You might be able
to jump straight to "Programming Perl".
Other good learning books would be:
"Beginning Perl" by Simon Cozens [2]
"Elements of Programming Perl" [3]
"Teach Yourself Perl In 24 Hours" by Clinton Pierce [1]
[1] NOT "Teach Yourself Perl In 21 Days" or in fact any other book by
SAMS.
[2] Can't miss it. Its big, red and has Simon's grinning mug on the
cover.
[3] Assuming you enjoy reading about Literate Programming.
