Here's one I forgot to recommend earlier.  Regular expressions are
a reasonably important part of perl, I learned them from 'sed & awk' 2nd
edition, which is published by O'Reilly.  sed and awk are both insanely
hard to use compared to perl, but the coverage of regular expressions in
this book was really useful to me.  Just be careful it doesn't put you
off perl :-)
