Af far as referance material, I'd highly suggest the Alpaca book,
"Learning Perl Objects, References & Modules", especially if you want to
learn OOP.

IMHO, it's the best book on perl I've ever read. It doesn't cover the
fundamentals, but if you know most of what's covered in the Llama
book, "Learning Perl", this is the next step (even mentioned in the book,
is that maybe it should have been called "Learning More Perl").

It's a bit short, but covers a whole lot of really good stuff.
