Good Perl tutorials/books...

...to begin. because I'm bored to write C code to do little tasks on my system.

Learning Perl from O'Reilly is the best book for learning Perl that I have found.  Its actually amusing to read, its so well written.

Then move onto Programming Perl (the bible of Perl) for everything you will ever want to know.

Then pick up Perl Best Practices for how to apply all that massive knowledge.

Then, rock on.
