SPUG: Must have perl books

[Andrew Sweger]

Zero. At a minimum, you need exactly zero (this from the guy with almost
every O'Reilly technical title in his office). Some of the tutorials are
nice if you like to read on the bus or have the book at your side while
you read. But most Perl installations come with an amazing amount of
documentation and what's available at web sites is unbounded and expanding
all the time at all levels.
