The online docs are very good. Just run "perldoc perl", and then go through the various tutorial pages (starting with "perldoc perlintro"). You can also read them online here: http://perldoc.perl.org/perl.html .
Then go to http://www.perlmonks.org . They have many tutorial-style articles there, as well as a very helpful and knowledgeable community. If you absolutely need to write object-oriented Perl, you probably want to keep things as simple as possible and just use regular old hash-based objects. Writing OO Perl code is a whole nuther ball of wax than just writing procedural Perl code. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
