    Well there are a couple people with tutorials on the web, here are some... :
    1 ovid's CGI course
    2. CGI-101.com
    3. Perlmonks tutorials on this site.
    4. Webmonkey.com
    5. Run a search at the best search engine, http://google.com.
    Well I hope that helped. If you mean books then you should definitely check out Programming Perl, just as the person in head of me suggested

    Additions:
    Okay, I felt guilty for giving this such a terse answer, which wasn't very helpful (IMHO). So here's a list of places I'd look for Perl info (by no means complete)--

    At your fingertips on any machine with Perl installed:
    perldoc: type in perldoc perl and behold the wonder.
    Modules: core modules are already on your machine. Some of them are written in Perl. No one is going to stop you from looking at the source to these, just open your favorite *.pm file in emacs (or whatever editor you may have on hand) and see what it looks like when the masters write Perl. Just don't save any changes. :)

    web-based stuff (largely repeats from Outside Links)

    General Perl Knowledge
    perl.com: O'Reilly sponsored Perl-only resource center.
    ActiveState Perl Support: Not everything, but the core perldoc files are here as well as those for many modules. Especially good place to start if you are on Windows using ActiveState Perl.
    Web Developer's Virtual Library: Growing library of "Perl You Need to Know" articles and much, much more.
    Perl Mongers: Perl Users and Advocates.
    Timeline of Perl and its Culture.
    Hard Copy (and plenty of softer stuff)
    The O'Reilly Perl Center: Good books about Perl. Home of the Camel and other Frequently Essential Perl Books.
    The Perl Journal: magazine about Perl, has some stuff online (subscribers get full archive access!)
    Perl Hackers
    Homepage of the original Perl Hacker, Mr. Randal Schwartz.
    Perl Paraphernelia: by Mark-Jason Dominus
    Just Because
    MacPerl: everyone has a Macintosh right?

    On the lines of books:
    If you're new to programming Elements of Programming with Perl might be what you are looking for. If you're comfortable with coding and just want to learn perl then then you will find that both Learning Perl and Programming Perl (aka 'The camel') absolutely essential if your the 'learn from books' type.

    Once equipped with those the Book Review page is where you want to go.

    I was surprise that no one else referred you to perlmonks very own tutorial node, as an on-line resource.

    One really good book to get into into Perl is Learning Perl. It covers 90% of perl's everyday use, a must buy even if it's not a tutorial per se. And you can eventually chat with one of the author on perlmonks!

    <kbd>--
    PerlMonger::Paris(http => 'paris.pm.org');</kbd>
      And you can eventually chat with one of the author on perlmonks!
      Why "eventually"? It's not like I have a mandatory waiting period. {grin}
