Well I haven't posted since May 20th when I introduced myself, so I decided to ask the community what some of the recommended first reads are for a new programmer wanting to start with Perl.  I have already picked up the famous lamma book, but wanted to find out some other recommended reads for new programmers.  Keep in mind that I have no programming experience outside of doing some batch type files.  Thanks!!

I started with the Camel Book (Programming Perl), often consider the Perl "Bible", back around 97/98 and it's served me well over the years.  It's probably my most well worn programming book.

My favorite is the Perl Black Book. Lots of great examples. I use it when I teach perl.
