Great book for learning and a bargain

The book is a bit outdated now but still good for learning Perl and HTTP/web client programming that can be adapted for other languages as well. And since it's old, you can get it for cheap online and at used bookstores.

And for those stingy folks out there, you can read it online instead at the O'Reilly Open Book project:
