I'll second Xah's mention of the Perl Cookbook. I've actually found this
to be more useful than the Camel book.

For those who like to look forward to things: there are two more O'Reilly
books forthcoming, "Perl in a Nutshell" and "Perl Algorithms" (I forget
the exact title). The latter especially looks interesting. I think it will
be next year before they are out--the projected release dates keep
changing.
