Because Beginning Perl is in my opinion a very good replacement for Camel, Llama, Alpaca together. As I myself don't need Perl books (I have perldoc and the interweb), I'd pick this book as the only one to own, and give it to someone who wants to learn the language.
Fortunately, you don't need it in dead tree form to read it, as it's available online, for free. That's the old edition, but still a great book for people who are capable of learning from concise instruction material.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).

or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
