I learned Perl from the Military and the camel book, but got into
Perl-CGI with "The Black Book of Perl"  It teaches you perl to, but
has some chapters on CGI and some in writing internet daemons and
such.  I would reccomend the Black Book Series to anyone interested.
BTW, I also have "The Black Book of HTML" and find them both
invaluable tools.
