Learning Perl, Intermediate Perl, Modern Perl, Perl Testing: A Developer's Notebook, Programming Perl (the Camel book), Mastering Perl, Higher Order Perl, Advanced Perl Programming, 2nd Ed (old, but pretty good), Mastering Algorithms with Perl (also old but excellent), Effective Perl Programming, Programming the Perl DBI, Object Oriented Perl (conway - Oldie but goody), Perl Best Practices (conway), Perl Template Toolkit...

But those are all Perl focused books. You can also learn a lot by going outside the echo chamber to look at other languages and at cross cutting concerns; the G4 Design Patterns book, a book or two about building microservices, some SQL and database books, some books around other languages like the C++ Primer (not "Plus"), a C book, SICP (the Scheme book), some JavaScript books, a Python book, a Go book, and so on. Also books on supportive technology: the OReilly Git book (can't remember the name offhand, 2nd edition or later, though), or the open source Git book, the OReilly Vim book, a Bash book.

That right there represents years of reading materials. Also read the Perl POD (all of it ... ok, you can skip a little of it but most of it). Also the POD for most common CPAN modules. Perl blogs, and even the Perl language source code (good luck though, it's rough).
