+I<Programming Perl, Second Edition> is a reference work that covers
+nearly all of Perl, while I<Learning Perl> is a tutorial that covers
+the most frequently used subset of the language.  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.
