A better link might be: perlopentut.

Also, for a general Perl tutorial, you might want to try Robert's Perl Tutorial. Its a bit dated, and often doesn't use the best style, but its a pretty good tutorial for beginners considering that its free. If you want to spend a few bucks, you might want to try a book like Learning Perl by merlyn.
