I really want to get started learning these, I have been stuck with command line SQL and basic .bat and .sh implementations for years Are there any real good beginner primers for these (other than Jared's great book from 12-15 years ago) that could kick start me into the new and glorious world?

I have attended some intro sessions _at_ Open World on Perl, but by the time you fight your way out of the city to airport and fly home, the info has pretty much been absorbed by the cobwebs in the cranial cavity.
