Greetings Lori713 and Welcome! I see (in the beginning of your post) that you are looking for books related to Perl, Java, HTML, etc. Somewhere in my digging around I found these links to a veritable compilation of books related to what you were looking for:

www.perl-books.com
www.javascript-books.com

I thought that I would bring these to the forefront so that you could have easy access to them.

I am also partial to the O'Reilly "Animal Books" I have found everyone of their books that I have encountered to be quite useful so here is their main link:

www.oreilly.com

Also... Take a look at Book Reviews and see what Perl Monks have to say about Perl related books.

Anyway good luck... I am certain that you will find your fellow Perl Monks to be a great resource! I know I have!
