Hmmm... I'm suprised The Perl Cookbook aka the Ram, hasn't been mentioned yet. To me, it's a third approach (by example) to learning perl (the others being the llama tutorial and the camel reference). It's full of practical code snippets both beginner level and advanced.

Of course everyone learns through different means. But if you're having some frustration using just the Llama book, this might be the better choice over another tutorial book or an even more dense reference tome.

In the end, I'd suggest getting the Camel book eventually, anyway - the triad of the Llama, the Ram, and the Camel is a very potent combination indeed.
