I<Programming Perl, Second Edition> is a reference work that covers
nearly all of Perl; I<Learning Perl, Second Edition> is a tutorial that
covers the most frequently used subset of the language; and I<Advanced
Perl Programming> is an in-depth study of complex topics including the
internals of perl.  You might also check out the very handy, inexpensive,
and compact I<Perl 5 Desktop Reference>, especially when the thought of
lugging the 676-page Camel around doesn't make much sense.  I<Mastering
Regular Expressions>, by Jeffrey Friedl, is a reference work that covers
the art and implementation of regular expressions in various languages
including Perl.  Currently published quarterly by Jon Orwant, I<The Perl
Journal> is the first and only periodical devoted to All Things Perl.
