There were a few reasons why I wanted to learn Perl. Amongst those reasons were IRSSI (http://www.irssi.org) , an IRC client, which can use Perl scripts. My main motivation though, was to use Perl for the administration of UNIX based systems.
I have never programmed before, so I'm proud to say that Perl is my first language. I didn't know a single thing about Perl, but once I purchased Learning Perl, I quickly became familiar with the language (I'm amazed at how fast I learned). The book taught me everything from what a Scalar Variable is, to how Larry Wall thinks (perhaps that is an exaggeration), but I did indeed learn a lot. I found Perl to be an easy language to learn, thanks to Learning Perl.
And because this book was so great, I did not hesitate to purchase Intermediate Perl, Mastering Regular Expressions, and Peogramming Perl. They are all (in my opinion) a must have.
