ORA's _Perl for Oracle DBAs_ is a great place to start. I also second Wiggins' plug for the basic perl books and _Programming the Perl DBI_, although I I find that Perl with can be a great tool for automating and iterating through PL/SQL routines without accessing the DBI directly, especially if you already have a lot of PL/SQL out there that you atre interested in maintaining.
