For this specific content, the "Advanced Perl Programming" O'Reilly book
by Sriram Srinivasan is pretty good.  The excellent "Effective Perl
Programming" by Joseph N. Hall (http://www.effectiveperl.com/) also
contains worthwhile info about OO programming in perl (along with a ton
of other useful perl tips).  The PEGS graphical documentation aid for
describing perl data structures in the latter is quite nice (described
quite well on the web page).
