I need to create an XML feed from Website data and store it in a MSSQL database. Then create queries stored procedures on that data and present the data in a web format. I will also be using MySQL but as part of my main project.
SQL queries via Perl DBI are one thing, stored procedures are another. Beware that the later may require you to learn yet another computer language (vendor-specific stored procedure language, such as PL/pgSQL).
I also saw Perl XML - http://shop.oreilly.com/product/9780596002053.do These will probably both be good references
I haven't read "Perl and XML" (nor "XML and Perl"). However, I am working on a project that could benefit from XML. So, I'll need to explore that path soon enough.

Don't let the publication dates put you off. Good ideas and good books are enduring. Yes, there are updates; but you won't understand the updates if you don't understand what is being updated in the first place.
I have been deliberately reading older Perl books that I missed back when. I'm currently reading "Network Programming with Perl" -- good stuff. :-)
