I learned Ruby from Why the Lucky Stiff's amazing and somewhat disturbing 
book, which I highly recommend and you can read for free online here:

I learned Perl from the O'Really book "Learning Perl", which I also highly 
recommend, if you really insist on learning Perl. I think Python might 
help you preserve your sanity, though.

Cheers, Chris.
