Well, in about three months, there'll be an 800-number that you can
call to get a 200-page book delivered to your doorstep (written by
Larry and me, published by Nutshell).  In the interim, there are some
quick-reference cards that summarize pieces of the manpage in a more
orderly format.  I don't recall offhand whether those are offered for
anon-FTP, however, and I'm not sure that they offer more in the way of
examples, which seems to be what everyone is screaming for.  Stay
tuned to this newsgroup, and ask your questions here.  There are many
Perl experts here, all willing to give you (sometimes conflicting :-)
answers.
