You can also use the online tool pointed to by
http://sixpairs.com/PovOL.aspx

You can just try stuff like "Sphere;" or
"difference Sphere; Torus Green; end"
in the text box and you will have a complete scene.

Or you can modify existing scenes (by putting your name in the strings...)

Then you can have a look at the generated
Pov-Ray SDL code to learn about SDL.

The documentation is on the tool's page as well and
it is written in the same language; so you can
use the documentation as "a set of scenes to learn about Pov-Ray".
(The doc scenes are still in the process of buing built)

You can even modify the documentation scenes to have your own set
doc scenes.
