I think there are very few people who learn Perl as their first programming language; hence most introductions to Perl only briefly discuss things like 'functions' and 'variables', which are very essential for programming. PHP might not be a bad idea to start with either, given that its syntax is vaguely similar to that of Perl. Also, it's easy to write something in PHP that does something more meaningful than printing "Hello world!" on the screen.
