Perhaps you should look in /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.8.8/pod, which from 
my experience, has been better than any book I've ever seen for perl.  
Try running `perldoc perlintro` and `perldoc perllol`.  With exceptions 
such as "old standard" languages, most free documentation that comes 
with the interpreter/compiler tends to be better than any book.  A 
print out of perl's documentation would be far more valuable than 
almost any perl book on the market.

Although I haven't looked much into any FreeBSD book, I wouldn't be 
surprised at all if FreeBSD's documentation combined with 
freebsd-questions would outweigh it.
