Free Stuff: chromatic's introductory and freely downloadable Modern Perl.
Not-Free Stuff: After digesting Modern Perl, the Camel book, and the various on-line introductions and tutorials here and at perldoc.perl.org, Perl Best Practices (PBP) is a bracing read. I certainly don't endorse all the "practices", but I think the discussions of each practice and its rationale are well worth one's time and attention.
And BTW: The language is named Perl, and the interpreter executable is named perl.

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).

or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
