You can't forget about these. I find that these topics come up most often here on Perl Monks.

Programming the Perl DBI Database programming with Perl By Alligator Descartes & Tim Bunce
Mastering Perl/Tk Graphical User Interfaces in Perl By Steve Lidie & Nancy Walsh
CGI Programming with Perl, 2nd Edition By Scott Guelich, Shishir Gundavaram & Gunther Birznieks

This doesn't mean that O'reilly is necessarily the best books, but they are very good and they look good on your book shelf.

I personally have the following:

Programming the Perl DBI Database programming with Perl By Alligator Descartes & Tim Bunce
Mastering Perl/Tk Graphical User Interfaces in Perl By Steve Lidie & Nancy Walsh
CGI Programming with Perl, 2nd Edition By Scott Guelich, Shishir Gundavaram & Gunther Birznieks
Perl for System Administration Managing multi-platform Environments with Perl By David N. Blank-Edelman
Programming Perl, 3rd Edition By Larry Wall, Tom Christiansen & Jon Orwant
Advanced Perl Programming By Sriram Srinivasan
As well as 2 black books on Perl.

I have this on my wish list:
Mastering Algorithms with Perl By Jon Orwant, Jarkko Hietaniemi & John Macdonald

• 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.
