Book Suggestions?

I'm about to start a job where my duties will include heavy Perl development. The code uses DBI to interface with a MySQL database and Template Toolkit for the user interface.

Now, I've written a bit of Perl before, but if I'm going to be doing it for a living, it's probably time to invest in a book or two.

Does anyone have any favorites to recommend?

Camel Book

It goes without saying, but "Programming Perl" is a given.

Perl books

I'm fond of these two:
Perl Medic : Transforming Legacy Code - this book shows you to respond when given a Lovecraftian nightmare of a Perl script that just needs "one more fix".
Object Oriented Perl - this is an excellent book on OO in Perl.

Higher Order Perl looks neat but I haven't read it yet.

books.perl.org is a good site for book reviews.
