I"d have to suggest the Perl Cookbook too.  It actually shows 
useful code in it.  I'm not sure buying the camel book is as useful 
for a new person. I didn't find it very useful til I got resonable good 
at programming.    Best bet is to write scripts to do those 
annoying things.  Say writing a simple menu to run the command 
line cd burner program or something.
