I've heard that Programming Perl and Learning Perl are both excellent books. Programming Perl is even co-authored by Larry Wall, the inventor of Perl.

Llama (Learning Peal) is due to have a new edition released in July. This is a great book to get started. http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/lperl3/
Camel (Programming Perl), which Wall co-authors is a bit more technical. http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/pperl3/
The O'Reilly books are great.

K so when im done reading this book I guess i'll buy the Learning Perl book or maybe the Progamming Perl. depends on how much perl i know. thanks so far guys.. If there are more books please reply.. Anyone know if the Perl In A NutShell book by O'Relly is any good?
