I heartily recommend O'Reilly's "The Perl CD Bookshelf", although I'd wait
until they release a new one with the latest "Programming Perl" on it. I
asked O'Reilly about it last winter, and was told that there would be a new
version, "Sometime this spring ...".
This CD has "Perl in a Nutshell", "Perl Cookbook", "Learning Perl", "Learning
Perl on Win32 Systems", "Programming Perl" (currently 2nd edition), and
"Advanced Perl Programming". The only glaring absence is O'Reilly's book on
regular expressions.
The CD contents are HTML, and it comes with a web server with a search
engine. It is great to be able to cut and paste code snippets from the books
without having to re-type them, and there is a combined index for all books
plus an index for each book. The search engine lets you search one book or
all of them. Whenever I start coding, that CD is in my drive. I think it's
only US$50, or thereabouts, but it's been a while since I bought it, so I
don't remember for sure.
