Documentation for the built-in functions is here: 
http://perldoc.perl.org/perlfunc.html

The rest can be read at http://perldoc.perl.org/

Nowadays, Linux comes with Perl but not its documentation.  To download 
it, start your favourite package manager and download the package 
"perl-doc"  Also, since some of it refers to the Syscalls, you may want 
its documentation.  Its package is "manpages-dev"

Programming is as much about organization and communication
as it is about coding.

I like Perl; it's the only language where you can bless your
thingy.
