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.
