We reference in detail the Llama Book: Learning PERL (2nd ed) by Randal L. Schwartz and Tom Christiansen published by O'Reilly and Associates. ISBN: 1-56592-284-0

More detailed is the Camel book: Programming PERL (2nd ed) by Larry Wall, Tom Christiansen, and Randal L. Schwartz, also by O'Reilly. ISBN: 1-56592-149-6
