Perl/Perl.org

Perl.org is perhaps the best starting point for learning about Perl. It calls itself The Perl Directory.

What's there?
Perl.org answers the question, What is Perl?:
 * Perl is a stable, cross platform programming language. It is used for mission critical projects in the public and private sectors and is widely used to program web applications of all needs. See learn.perl.org
