Here is how I learn most languages (this may just be me but it seems to work best). I am always impatient and respond to early success as most do.

1. Rapidly scan the online or offline doc to get a feel for it. This helps create a context.
2. Read some short examples written by others. Lookup the commands you don't understand, etc. Run the examples to see what they really do.
3. Pick a limited scope project. I often build a phone book app. This gives me a reference point on some constructs, syntax, pros and cons of the language.
4. Try your target project and learn as you go. Stay away from the more complex constructs at first. Learning them later is great and super productive in some cases, e.g. map.

I have written a lot of Perl over the last 5 years. I often mix bash and Perl (plus some dialog for a simple GUI) to create console apps quickly. I don't find X-Windows necessary most of the time for what I need.

I like bash with its new enhancements. Some things are still a lot easier in Perl. Sometimes using both on a project (assuming it will be used in *nix) is the best.

To me Perl is not a dead language any more than bash is. The are just special purpose languages. If you need a general purpose language then use one. If you try to make a general purpose language special purpose then you may be taking the long way around. Why do that, other than the challenge?
