    For good books, check out the site's Reviews section and see what other monks have had to say.

    For a real newbie to Perl, I wholeheartedly recommend Learning Perl.

    Perl Cookbook also rocks, as does Programming Perl ... try O'Reilly's web site and look at their Perl catalog.

    I've heard that there are also good books on Perl by other publishers ... =) (really a joke, see my review of one such book )
