Perl:
(O'reilly books)
Learning Perl
Programming Perl
Perl Cookbook
(in that order; read them all. if you have programming experience, skip
Learning Perl)
PHP:
(Wrox book)
Professional PHP Programming
HTML:
I'm not sure if HTML should fall in the same category (never mind that it's
not a programming language; it has no form of iteration). HTML is going to
be a prerequisite for learning PHP, probably (unless you want to do system
programming with PHP -- but why? :-)).
You can pick HTML up from looking at source pretty easily. I wouldn't try
to learn HTML from http://www.w3.org/, but the W3 validator is almost
certainly what you will want to use to check your HTML for errors. Don't
fall into the trap that a lot of authors fall into.
