Thanks! The Manning books (especially "OOP" for myself) are two I don't have that I will consider more carefully. "Elements" looks like it would be great for high school kids just starting out with programming. But I should have given some background to be clearer, I've read the Camel, I've got Nutshell and Perl/Tk. I rely heavily on PODs, other online resources, and subscribe to TPJ.

For me, the mechanics of Perl are coming along nicely. What I'm looking for is more along the lines of design/engineering. I'm probably going to pick up "Pragmatic Programmer", but I'm wondering if there are other classics in the realm of non-language-specific programming theory that relate well to Perl, or that use Perl examples.
