Pick language X. Buy Learning X from O'Reilly, e.g. http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/learnperl4/

I don't think it matters that much what you start with unless you have something in particular in mind you want to do, in which case, no matter what it is, choose Perl :)

Don't forget that .pdf's of popular books are available from your favorite neighborhood torrent search.
