There is a book also called Learning Perl from O'Reilly, but really I don't feel there is a suitable enough reason to pay a lot of money for it, especially since you have Programing Perl already. Programming Perl is very detailed, and reading that book should teach you a lot of perl. Talking to other Perl Programmers is important too. The most important thing is progressive practice. As this is a CGI mailing list, I thought I'd mention that the book I began learning off of was "Perl and CGI for the World Wide Web: Visual Quickstart Guide" by Castro. I thought is was good, it taught me the basics. I was just some web designer that wanted to learn some Perl. After than one I read Programming Perl, I did not buy it though, I went to the library.
