Canon:
Camel (_Programming Perl_ 3rd edition by Wall, et al)
Llama (_Learning Perl_ 2nd edition by Schwartz) (3rd will be out soon)
Should get:
_Object Oriented Perl_ by Conway
_Mastering Regular Expressions_ by Jeffrey E. F. Friedl
_Perl Cookbook_ by Tom Christiansen & Nathan Torkington
Good depending on you job:
_Programming the Perl DBI_ by Alligator Descartes & Tim Bunce
_Data Munging with Perl_ by David Cross
I hear that Manning is putting out a regexp book written by someone on
this list, but I can't remember his name (and am too lazy to search for
it).
