Dallas,

Did you ever get any answers to this query?

Well, of course it's hard to beat the Camel book for all-around 
usefulness.  But I have very fond memories of the Panther book: 
_Advanced Perl Programming_.[1]  It's been a long time since I read it, 
but I remember very distinctly feeling that it was the impetus for my 
advancing to the next level in Perl programing.

Now, if you were willing to look beyond O'Reilly, then I would probably 
recommend chromatic's _Modern Perl_.[2]  But within the O'Reilly 
context, the Panther book is probably my top choice.

HTH!

It's not O'Riley but the "Perl Black Book" was my favorite. Nearly 1,000 pages with every page dealing with an issue and a complete perl solution.
