Randal L. Schwartz, Tom Phoenix, brian d foy: Learning Perl (2005, O'Reilly)

includes recent changes to the language up to Perl 5.14

Review of 'Learning Perl' on 'Goodreads'

This book is arguably the best one out there to start your Perl adventure, and I've learned a lot of small details about programming in Perl. Thank you, Randal L. Schwartz for writing this wonderful book. I'm going to start Intermediate Perl immediately.

Sean M. Burke, Sean-M Burke: Perl & LWP (2002)

Review of 'Perl & LWP' on 'Goodreads'

Awesome book to learn about LWP, spidering websites and many more topics. The only disadvantage is that the book is a bit outdated and the style in which the Perl codes are written is a bit old and needs to be updated.

reviewed How did we find out about Antarctica? by Isaac Asimov (How did we find out ... series)

Describes the geography of the Antarctic regions and the history of their discovery and exploration.

Review of 'How did we find out about Antarctica?' on 'Goodreads'

A great book explaining how we reached Antarctica, after whom the different parts of Antarctica was named, difficulties of sailing on icy lands, lack of food suplies, the explorers who's lost their lives in the quest, different kinds of living species including Adeline Penguins and Emperor Penguins, how their chicks are hatched and bred and etc... a short and informative book recommend to everyone who likes to get to know Antarctica better.

Review of 'Book That Shook the World' on 'Goodreads'

The book explains evolution and natural selection from different points of view including Western and Hindu philosophers and thinkers and believes that the two can learn from each other. The part about the fight between the religion and Darwin's evolutionary idea was of great interest to me, in which you can read about the inability of religious reasons to explain evolution and the concept of different species.
