My list contains 11 books (Does camel2 & camel3 count as two?) most of which or on the bottom of Buy PerlMonks Gear and Books page.

In addition I have the

Corolis Perl Core Language (Little Black Book) for quick reference.

And one I DON'T reccomend Perl Annotated Archives

Data Munging with Perl

Effective Perl Programming: Writing Better Programs with Perl

And some quotes from Object Oriented Perl to get you by:

From 1.1.5 Polymorphism:
. . . we can observe that the way in which a particular person will respond to your messsage depends on the class of person they are. A ReceptivePerson will respond enthusiastically, a ShyPerson will respond tentatively, and a JustPlainWeirdPerson will probably respond in iambic pentameter. The original messagee is always the same; the response depends on the kind of person who recieves it.

From 2.1.5 References and referents
A reference is like the traditional Zen idea of the "finger pointing at the moon."
