First of its Perl. Anyone calling it PERL has been reading to many bad 1995 matt wright books. Also it doesn't lack data structures - it supports entirely arbitary data structures, classes and class,package,object and other scoped data. There is no hope involved unless you haven't read even the most trivial documentation and are copy & pasting what you found on usenet.
I am interested in learning Perl in order to add it to my cv. I think it will help progress my career away from M$ technologies. One of the primary reasons I learned PHP and am learning MySQL. Where would be a good place to start? Good book? Good website?
