#Mornin',
#	I've decided to learn perl. It's about time. I've also decided
#that it would be worth my while investing in a book to help me 
#do so. The
#problem is that O'Reilly have many fine books on the subject:
#
#Learning Perl, 2nd Edition 
#Perl in a Nutshell 
#Programming Perl, 3rd Edition 
#
#etc. etc. etc
#Now - does anyone have any recommendations about which would 
#be best for
#an absolute perl beginner? Or any other books? Bear in mind that I am a
#programmer by profession, so complete idiocy _cannot_ be assumed -)

Learning Perl would be the best of those books to start off on.
