I've written lots of Perl, including modules and database-driven web apps.

Here are the best Perl books on my bookshelf:

"Programming Perl" by Larry Wall, Tom Christiansen, Jon Orwant:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0596000278/

"Programming the Perl DBI" by Alligator Descartes, Tim Bunce:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1565926994/

"Effective Perl Programming: Writing Better Programs With Perl" by Joseph N. Hall and Randal Schwartz:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0201419750/

"Object Oriented Perl: A Comprehensive Guide to Concepts and Programming Techniques" by Damian Conway:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1884777791/

"Writing Apache Modules with Perl and C" by Lincoln Stein and Doug MacEachern
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/156592567X/

"Perl Best Practices" by Damian Conway
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0596001738/
(Actually I don't have this last one yet. I saw Damian Conway speak at OSCON last week, and he sure knows his stuff.)

Finally, I strongly recommend writing web apps with a templating framework, instead of lacing "print" statements in your scripts to output fragments of HTML.

So check out Perl modules like Template Toolkit:

Or HTML::Mason:
