I haven't read Learning Perl, only Programming Perl. And I have to say that
Programming Perl is almost essential if you want to get anywhere with it.

It's not necessary, although you may prefer it in the long run. There are 
ports to many platforms. There's a DOS version and also a Win32 version. 
Both are kept relatively up to date with the official versions.
