@emph{Programming Perl, Second Edition} is a reference work that covers
nearly all of Perl, while @emph{Learning Perl} is a tutorial that covers
the most frequently used subset of the language.  You might also check
out the very handy, inexpensive, and compact @emph{Perl 5 Desktop
Reference}, especially when the thought of lugging the 676-page Camel
around doesn@'t make much sense.  @emph{Mastering Regular Expressions}, by
Jeffrey Friedl, is a reference work that covers the art and implementation 
of regular expressions in various languages including Perl.
