NO!

Start with Learning Perl. What are you trying to do? Scare them off before they get anywhere?

The Camel is terrible as a first Perl book, but great as a reference.

Re: The Best Way -- Wish I'd had the CD bookshelf

I'd recommend The Perl Cd Bookshelf, Version 3.0, if you can afford it. You get Programming Perl, Learning Perl, Perl Cookbook and 4 other books as well. If you can't spring the $80 USD though, you can pick up older, used versions for as little as $13 USD from the bookseller whose name should not be spoken. You'd spend almost that much ($80 USD) if you bought any two of the three books mentioned separately.

Also, the Cookbook provides great examples/explanations for common programming tasks.
