I can't judge this books suitability for a novice, but as a seasoned programmer who needed a swift introduction to PERL, I found this to be an excellent resource. It's short and sweet and covers all the basics. I still consult the regular expression chapter occasionally.
Great for a "crash course" if you already have programming experience.

This is a gem of a book. For the beginning programmer, this presents basic web-programming problems and solutions in a concise, easy to grasp way. Pay attention to the lessons in this book and use it along with your other Perl books and you'll be programming some cool web apps in no time!
