I would recommend Learning Perl also by O'Reilly & Associates. When I first started learning Perl, this book was invaluable. Perl was also, for me anyway, a good first programming language to learn on. Prior to that, the only other language I had learned was BASIC, and only very little. Most people will recommend not starting with a language like C, due to its complexity. Perl seems to be a good starter.

I now use Programming Perl and Perl Cookbook. Both are from O'Reilly & Associates. This book also sounds like a good reference to have once you have the basics down.
