Three books from O'Reilly are absolutely essential for reference:

Wall, Christiansen, Orwant: Programming Perl, 3rd Edition Christiansen, Torkington: Perl Cookbook
Descartes, Bunce: Programming the Perl DBI

These are, in my opinion after about 18 years in computer science education and business, some of the highest quality programming language texts in print.

An excellent starter book is (also O'Reilly):

Schwartz: Learning Perl

If you travel a lot, want to save $$, or if you just prefer reading LCDs to paper, get The Perl CD Bookshelf. It's six books on CD-ROM, plus Perl in a Nutshell (also, of course, by O'Reilly).
