I didn't see it mentioned -- so here is my choice.
By far the book I use most is O'Reilly's "Programming Perl". "Learning Perl" with lots of bookmarks and dirty pages is second.
On a related note, I'm looking for a book on graphics. A few years ago, I bought "Mastering Perl/Tk" and got a few useful things working. But then Tkx came out and I'm lost again. I have studied the much-touted TkDocs tutorial, but it leaves too many holes for me. ActiveState and others list all of the functions and their options, but I can't bridge the gaps. I saw and bought another book recently, O'Reilly's "Perl Graphics Programming", but was disappointed that it doesn't even mention either Tk or Tkx.
What else is out there that am I missing?

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
