For me at least, it really depends. I have picked up a book and learned straight from that, at least well enough to get going on the subject. I also find that being in a class, where you are face-to-face with other students and an instructor is quite helpful as well. So too is reading the documentation online. It perhaps depends on where you are at in your learning as to which is most helpful. It really depends on the situation and circumstances involved. Ultimately, you have to know yourself and how you yourself learn and then select the best technique (or combination of techniques) to learn whatever it might be (not limited to just learning Perl or some other programming language).

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).

are good places to start.
