I know this has been reported elsewhere, but the very excellent, "Higher Order Perl", is available as a free download.
This is definitely worth buying if you can spare the cash, or can convince your boss to pay for it. However if you can't, or if you just really want something you can read on your notebook or mobile phone while riding the train, this pdf is very high quality.
If you haven't heard about this book, it's a fantastic exploration of how powerful and beautiful Perl syntax can be. I know people often charge that Perl is 'read only' or 'line noise'. Taking a quick look here should silence that criticism.
If you are trying to learn Perl and looking for other free books, check this page out. Or, check the general Learning Perl page. Or just ask me what to do in the comments section below :)
