Please browse through our
book reviews here, but I think
the definitive book has got to be
Programming Perl.
For your needs you may well find that much of what you want to
do has been covered here at the Monastery, so I'd encourage you to
make use of Categorized Questions and Answers and SuperSearch.
If you have a question you can't figure out on your own, follow
these guidelines and you'll likely find many helpful souls here.
Welcome to Perl!
Update: Stuffy is correct that Programming Perl probably isn't
for the complete novice, but I do consider it definitive, and it is certainly
the second book you should buy, if perhaps not the first.
