Many languages will cost you something to acquire. Perl is free (ActiveState for the Windows people) Python probably the same. There are free versions of compilers for C and Pascal out there.
My biggest tip to the novice programmer is: get yourself a decent text-editor (http://www.utopia-planitia.de/indexus.html) and learn to use it.
