If you are not familiar with Perl from your UNIX background, I highly
recommend the O'Reilly books Learning Perl on Win32 Systems and Programming
Perl (the camel book).
Between my recommendation and others, you are looking at $200+ in books, so
you might want to eliminate a couple of them. I found both of these books
indispensable when I started learning Perl. Now I hardly use Learning Perl,
but I could not do without the camel book. Learning Perl on Win32 Systems
won't teach you much if you are already familiar with Perl on UNIX systems.
On the other hand, the Roth books that were recommended won't do much for
you until you are familiar with Perl, but I highly recommend them for
learning Win32 specific extensions.
There aren't a lot of good Win32 Perl web sites. Dave Roth's has some good
example scripts <www.roth.net/perl>. Activestate's site has a searchable
archive of this and other good lists. Those are good for finding answers to
specific problems.
