"Programming the Perl DBI", Decartes, Bunce, Oreilly
"Perl Cookbook", Christiansen & Torkington, Oreilly
"Advanced Perl Programming", Srinivasan, Oreilly

Yes I am a bit of an Oreilly fan!

And a few suggestions:

Normalize, normalize, normalize.
(de-normalize portions if needed)

Don't re-invent the wheel, use as many perl modules as you need.

Rod
