Perl created by programming guru
Larry Wall.
Other Perl gurus... Randal Schwartz,
Tom Christiansen, and Lincoln Stein.
I started with PERL using the Learning Perl book, but quickly out grew it and moved onto Programming Perl. I have found the Perl Cookbook to be excellent and KevinM [who is a Unix SysAdmin that does tool development in PERL] recommends it.
