Well, if you have the money for just one book, I'd order two from
Bookpool.com for about the same price ;) But seriously...
I have to concur with what several others have said here previously:
Learning Perl, from O'Reilly (the "Llama book"). Second choices, depending
on whether you want CGI or general language focus, would be (both from
O'Reilly) CGI Programming with Perl (mouse on cover), or Programming Perl
(the "Camel book").
