Hamish,

Try Programming PERL by Larry Wall and Randall L Schwatrz, from O'Reilly
& Associates. You can find this in either Dymocks in the Sydney CBD or
probably any other major or technical bookstore with a good computer
section. Larry Wall invented PERL. 

O'Reilly books are always good. They also publish Learning PERL but I've
never used that.
