Another book which IMHO is worth a look is Beginning Perl by Simon Cozens
(WROX editor) 

Amazon description available at : 
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/stores/detail/-/books/1861003145/custom
er-reviews/ref%3Dpm%5Fdp%5Fln%5Fb%5F7/104-2502558-1211136

This book is actually a bit 'beefy' for true beginners. But those who've
already grasped the basics of programming (Perl or any other language) may
find it quite good indeed.

Have a look at the review and content at : 
http://www.linuxlookup.com/html/reviews/misc/beginning-perl.html
<http://www.linuxlookup.com/html/reviews/misc/beginning-perl.html>  

It says :
"Beginning Perl is a fantastic book for any programmer who is itching to
learn the Perl programming language. 
I must warn you that it might progress a little too quickly for someone who
has never done any previous programming..."

	I heartily recommend O'Reilly's  "The Perl CD Bookshelf", although
I'd wait
	until they release a new one with the latest "Programming Perl" on
it.  I
	asked O'Reilly about it last winter, and was told that there would
be a new
	version, "Sometime this spring ...".

	This CD has "Perl in a Nutshell", "Perl Cookbook", "Learning Perl",
"Learning
	Perl on Win32 Systems", "Programming Perl" (currently 2nd edition),
and
	"Advanced Perl Programming".  The only glaring absence is O'Reilly's
book on
	regular expressions.

	The CD contents are HTML, and it comes with a web server with a
search
	engine.  It is great to be able to cut and paste code snippets from
the books
	without having to re-type them, and there is a combined index for
all books
	plus an index for each book.  The search engine lets you search one
book or
	all of them.  Whenever I start coding, that CD is in my drive.  I
think it's
	only US$50, or thereabouts, but it's been a while since I bought it,
so I
	don't remember for sure.

	Rodney
