Do check out the "Perl CD Bookshelf."  It comes with a hardcopy of "Perl in a 
Nutshell" and a CD containing "Perl in a Nutshell," "Programming Perl,"  "Perl 
Cookbook," "Advanced Perl Programming," "Learning Perl," and "Learning Perl on 
Win32."  It's a fantastic resource, and much cheaper than buying the paper 
copies of all those.

You can get it without being anywhere near a brick-and-mortar bookshop.

Cheers,
T.
