buy the first, print your copy of ModernPerl and take a look to PerlCookbook: it is very aged but was a wonderful panorama for me. I did'nt liked very much Intermediate Perl but generally speaking all O'Reilly Perl books are good quality ones.

About version differences, Perl is very strong in backward compatibilty, so you'll never learn something no more valid. A perldelta is available for all versions: and yes was a big improvement from 5.14 to 5.24 but books are still fully valid.

There are no rules, there are no thumbs..
Reinvent the wheel, then learn The Wheel; may be one day you reinvent one of THE WHEELS.

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
