I started off with reading SAMS Teach yourself PERL in 21 days
and have to say that it is good for getting into it.
Especially the section about the regular expressions ins't
that bad after all... After that I used the man-pages only.
They are good if you are searching for the syntax of a
function, or even for /s and /m - if you already know what
they mean and to remind which one is which....
P.S.: /s is matching \n with
., /m is handling ^ and $ after and
before each \n :-)

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).

Want more info? How to link
or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
