for my money the O'Reilly books are the best:
These just stay on my desk. (for quick reference)
Perl 5 Desktop reference, Johna Vromans
PERL in a Nutshell, Siever, Spainhour & Patwardhan
These are on my bookshelf in order of beginner to advanced.
Learning Perl, Randal Schwartz
Programming Perl, Wall, Christiansen & Schwartz
Mastering Regular Expressions, Jeffrey Friedl (techincally not a perl
book but regex is the keys to the kingdom)
Effective Perl Programming, Hall & Schwartz (Addison-Wesley)
Perl Cookbook, Christiansen & Torkington
Advanced Perl Programming, Sriam Srinvasan
if you need a graphical interface to your program.
Learning Perl/Tk, Nancy Walsh
a subscription to "The Perl Journal" never hurts either.
