Mastering Regular Expressions is an amazing read. You'll never look at a regex the same way ever again.

On a more general scale, Perl Cookbook and Perl Best Practices are both incredible books as well (even though I don't totally agree with all of Conway's best practices, it's still an excellent guide to programming like a programmer and not a spaghetti cook)
