I noticed you didn't mention regexes. There's quite a lot you can learn about them. I strongly recommends Jeffrey Friedl's book "Mastering Regular Expressions" for that one. Nearly everyone can learn a bit (or a bit more ;-) from reading it.
Another book that I strongly recommend is "Higher Order Perl" by Mark Jason Dominus. It changed my way of thinking about programs and programming quite a bit.
Other nits:
- Read in perlmod about symbol tables
- If you don't already know it, read perlsec
- Read the unicode documents like perluniintro and perlunicode
- Go to the list of Saints in our Book, randomly click on a few of them, and look at some of their top 50 voted writeups. You'll find some real pearls there ;-)

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.
