First steps in Perl

Hello,
I want to start learning Perl, but I need some expert's adviceSmilie Could you recommend me any online manual or book to start with? I have some experience with bash and C, so I am not a complete newbie in programming. What's your advise to start with?
Thank you very much for your answers!

P.S. I've made a quick search in the forums and haven't find any similar thread. Please excuse me if this is already discussed.

I'd recommend any of the O'Reilly Perl books and 'Perl by Example' by Ellie Quigley.

No, you erred. This question pops up from time to time and I have at least seen several of them over the years and more if variations are being counted in. Say this with just a simple search just now (using the "learn Perl" keyword):

https://www.unix.com/shell-programmin...earn-perl.html

I understand it can be sort of tiresome to search for relevant prior posting, so I rarely issue infractions for this. However, please understand that you can find relevant links for this question in particular most easily with most search engines nowadays even if you don't get something useful with the search on this forum.

First of all thank you very much for your answers.
I do apologize for this thread - my mistake. I used another keywords and didn't find what I wanted. This won't happen again.
I know that maybe in Google there is plenty of information, but I respect the members of this forum and I wanted to hear their opinion.
Yet again I apologize for breaking the rules and I promise to do my best not to let this happen again.

P.S. Maybe it's a good idea to stick a thread with recommended online docs and books about different languages? Maybe there are more people, like me, looking for the right way in the jungle of documentation out there. This will be useful for both the users and administrators/moderators of this forum.

As I understand, that we sometimes get bewildered when overwhelmed by a whole lot of information likewise, so no need to apologize. It was a reminder, not a warning.

We actually have an FAQ section here. If you see some threads here you think should become an FAQ, feel free to suggest so in the "contact us" forum. We are quite open to suggestions for making the forum a more informative place.
