Programming Perl is an awesome book, far more than just a book on learning Perl. I highly recommend it. It does the best job of explaining programming concepts to non-programmers that I've ever seen. Larry Wall is one of the co-authors, and his voice comes out loud and clear. I'd not dream of saying that he's not a programmer, but he's also a linguist and someone who can explain a topic using real language, not just jargon.
