Programming
I was wondering if anyone knew of any sites on the internet that give a good detailed tutorial on programming Perl for beginners. I have found a few, but was wondering if anyone else knew about anymore.
~thanks

One of the best one I found as a primer was:
Perl Tutorial Start: http://cres.anu.edu.au/manuals/perl/start.html
But the best advice I could ever give you is Buy a book! Buy a book! Buy a book! Don't waste your time with web tutorials (however good they are!) there is nothing like having "The Bible" (Programming Perl, 3rd edition) besides you. It's written by Larry Wall himself (the author of Perl) and Tom Christienses (the one who maintains perl.org amonsgt other things) and it's a truly good read.
There is just no substitute for the bible. You'll thank me for it. I was reading tutorials on the web for two years before I coughed up for the book - boy did it make a difference! Don't make the same mistake!
However if you insist on web tutorials, here's a few more links from my bookmarks which I have used over the years:
