I can't speak to Java, as I haven't learned it... yet.

I never considered Perl a "relevant sidekick" to Java, but I would start with
the O'Reilly books "Learning Perl," then "Programming Perl."  They are
co-authored by Larry Wall, who is the Father of Perl.

And Java is NOT JavaScript.  They have similar syntax, but serve different
purposes.

HTH.
