I learned Ruby from Why the Lucky Stiff's amazing and somewhat disturbing book, which I highly recommend and you can read for free online here: http://mislav.uniqpath.com/poignant-guide/book/chapter-1.html I learned Perl from the O'Really book "Learning Perl", which I also highly recommend, if you really insist on learning Perl. I think Python might help you preserve your sanity, though.
