I'd say you have a good list of books, and a good bit of advice here with all the other Monks' comments.

The only thing I have to add to this list are the modules themselves. I don't know how many times I have actually looked at the code in the DBI.pm module (or any other for that matter) to actually figure out what was going on. The perldoc is definitely helpful in most cases, but sometimes it takes a look at the code to "get it right" and really understand it.

I also agree strongly with the "just do it" philosohpy, and it sounds like you are further along in your understanding of the process that I was when I started (and that was on a project for a client!).

And as Zaxo was saying, share your project (or bits of it) here, and watch the help you get from the Brother Monks. I'll tell you, it sure has helped me seeing the code and comments!
