"Man pages. Learn perl from the man pages."
Yes, the man pages are good, but...
"Screw the camel/lama, whatever, it's all the same stuff written by the same people."
... DO NOT "Screw the camel"! The turquoise camel book (perl5) is great, even if its content matches closely the man pages. I use it instead of the man pages, which are searchable. The indexing and organization of the book are really good!
And think nice about the people who put valuable content in the man pages, instead of making it an incentive to buy the book. The turquoise camel book is worth the money anyway!
