Someone has already suggested the Camel book, Programming Perl. That's a good suggestion, but I would recommend the O'Reilly Perl CD Bookshelf instead. For about the price of two of their excellent Perl books, you get ALL their Perl books on a CD in HTML, hyperlinked, indexed and searchable. I "discovered" the CD Bookshelf after I had already bought the Llama book, the Camel book and the Cookbook, which is about half the CD. I still consider it a very good deal.
