There are 2 books that advise everyone, like a standard on perl
1) Randal L. Schwartz, Tom Phoenix and Brian d'Foy - Learning Perl, 5th edition - 2009, start with it. There is a PDF like
This year the 6th edition came out, but it is only in English. If you speak English, it's better to find/buy the latest version, since Perl is developing dynamically. www.amazon.com/Learning-Perl-Randal-L-Schwartz/dp/1449303587/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1318334250&sr=8-2
besides
2) Symbol - Perl, learning in depth. 2007 is to read right after reading the first book. There are on the net.
In addition:
3) Perl. A collection of recipes for the professional. Christiansen. - here is a collection of recipes
3) www.perl.org/books/library.html- here are free online books in English.
4) perldoc.perl.org/ - documentation and manuals are collected here. But you must already have certain Perla skills.
there is still a community ru-perl.livejournal.com It is sluggish, but, unlike most Linuxoids (where they usually answer “smoke mana” to any question), pearl people usually try to help

From viewing the library on CPAN, believe me, a lot of the question is “how?” will leave on their own

In no case do not start learning a pearl by viewing modules on CPAN: there is a quiet horror inside in some modules. IMHO, that's why the pearl has lost its popularity, that novice developers learned not from the dock, but from far from ideal examples of "senior comrades". As a result, the quality of the code gradually degraded and the pearl became associated with unreadable nonsense.
The correct answers to the questions “how” should be sought in the cookbook and the dock. And there and there dofiga of them, for all occasions.

And I don’t learn it at all, I don’t even remember the syntax properly, and sometimes I write scripts.
How does it work? The Internet is full of guides, forums and books, where you can almost always find a hint.
And I begin to study something in the process of solving a problem, so the interest in solving a problem is combined with the process of studying.

I don't write perl myself, but when I need to tweak something, I use perldoc.perl.org/ as a reference .
