I learned Perl by reading 'Learning Perl, 2nd ed.' and found it very easy to read - on top of that 'CGI Programming with Perl' is also a good read.
I'd suggest you give O'Reilly a try - I don't buy any other publisher for my Linux/Perl books.

If you are new to perl.. avoid the O'Reilly books... there are, IMHO, written by PhD's for PhD's
the "Visual" books ," Read less, Learn More" are really good.
the Dewey Dec. Number at my library is 651.84's
the CGI books mention the SQL's and you can go from there.
something you need to know about perl that confused me for a year... there is the long way of writing code and a shorthand form..... for instance... I now squat about CGI.pm.... so answers that reffer to CGI.pm are usless to me.
I will be happy to help you as much as I can. I am wrting a web site just for beginners like us....you could help.....
