Thanks for the tip. 
I have looked at quite a few of the books now and focused my attention on two of them: 
"Learning perl (3rd ed)" and "Programming perl (3rd ed)".

Anyone have any experience with these two? Especially, do I need both or is it enough to use "Programming perl (3rd ed)"?

Thanks for the help guys!

Ren?
