That's incorrect and has never been correct.  The parser you want is in
Text.Parsec.Char. Data.Char is a standard Haskell module and has nothing to
do with Parsec.

Unfortunately I can't recommend any particular tutorial. Mostly I thrashed
about, reading this and that. The principles are best explained in the
original papers, such as this one:

http://research.microsoft.com/en-us/um/people/daan/download/papers/parsec-paper.pdf

But unfortunately the original papers are somewhat out of date too.
