Perl From the Ground Up
http://www.cc.gatech.edu/conted/c253.html

I had a project come up that required Perl and I didn't have time to 
bootstrap  so I did a combination of classes (Perl From the Ground Up) and 
self training. Perl From the Ground Up will get you started in Perl and 
over the hump of some of the basic conventions. When you get done you will 
be writing simple Perl scripts. However, it does not cover more advanced 
subjects such as data structures. The most frustrating thing I found when 
learning Perl was knowing how to do something in another language but not 
knowing the Perl way to do it. Eventually I found and read the Perl online 
documentation. Many of my initial questions were answered in the Perl FAQ's.
