I have come to relize you don't really need a book for perl. You can learn most of perl online. Just search for "Perl Tutorial" on google. But then again I think if you are begining programming. You should most likely start with C. Its tougher but you can pick up a language pretty fast after learning C. Just my personal opinion.
