Well, the best books about perl are:
Learning Perl
Perl Programming
Advanced Perl Programming
Before reading Jared's book, you want to read "Learning Perl" and introductory few chapters of the "Advanced Perl Programming", to learn about references, packages, blessing, AUTOLOAD method and alike. My only serious problem with perl is that it doesn't have standard subsystem for the OO programming, based on the "class" keyword. I'm rading about Python and looks just Java diluted by a dose of perl. I must say that I like it. PHP is also nice, but lacks a consistent database interface, like perl. PHP is amazingly like perl, but, for some reason, perl scripts execute faster then the same script rewritten in PHP.
