That's no problem, I learned perl from the manpages myself. Just "man
perl". It gives you the list of the perl man pages. Skip the first
group (perl, perldelta, perl50004delta, perlfaq and perltoc) and read
the rest in the order they're listed there (or at least read the first
four). That will give you a good start.
Another solution would of course be buying the camel or the llama
books.
