Smart boy. :)

If you're new to programming in general, grab "Learning Perl". Otherwise, 
"Programming Perl". The O'Reilly Perl library has a ridiculous number of books 
in it these days, but these two are really where you should start.

In other news, I am teaching in the Fedora Classroom this Saturday on Perl 
basics. It's free. All you need is an IRC client.
