I've bought a few Perl books besides these, but these are
the ones that really helped:
- Learning Perl -- great intro, best way to start
- Programming Perl -- learn the more advanced concepts.
- Effective Perl Programming -- stop coding in PERL, and give Perl a try.
- Perl Cookbook -- great reference for many common problems.
- Programming the Perl DBI -- if you're using a database.
- Ojbect Oriented Perl -- great way to learn about OO in Perl.
- Perl 5 Pocket Reference -- when you can't remember, look it up.
There are a lot more I want, but have to wait in my large wanted-books queue:
- Mastering Algorithms with Perl
- Data Munging with Perl
- Mastering Regular Expressions
- Perl for System Administration -- borrowed it
- Advanced Perl Programming
- Mastering Perl/Tk
- CGI Programmming with Perl -- borrowed it
- Network Programming In Perl -- borrowed it
