You should take a look at these books.
They're all published by
O'Reilly, and that's good.
(No, I'm not endorsing them, but I think their books are
good.)
- Learning Perl, aka "The Llama book", definitely the first book for beginners. One of the authors is merlyn.
- Programming Perl, aka "The Camel Book" or "The Bible". You need this.
- Perl Cookbook, aka "The Ram book". Lots of small code snippets useful everywhere.
- Perl In A Nutshell, aka "The Camel Head book". Get this if you need a handy, but complete reference.
There are many others, but these are best for beginners. (And you need enough time to read through them :) ).

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.
