  ...for multi-dimensional data structures you don't need Learning Perl, you need Learning Perl Objects, References & Modules [oreilly.com].
  
  But you should probably read Learning Perl first :)

    And that second one I can lend him :-) It's just that I don't have the first one and I think he (and everybody learning Perl, for that matter) should read it :-)

  An alternative would be Beginning Perl [perl.org], which is available online for free.

  The docs that come with perl are nice, too. Take a look at perlreftut [perldrunks.org] and perllol [perldrunks.org].

  And the canonical reference, as opposed to tutorial, is perlref [perldrunks.org]
