 From buy.com:

Learning Perl 3rd Edition - $22.02
Perl Cookbook - $25.17
Shipping $0-$17.90
Total $47.19-$65.09

 From bookpool.com:

Learning Perl 3rd Edition - $21.50
Perl Cookbook - $24.50
Shipping $3.23-20.17
Total $49.23-$66.17

If you want it fast, bookpool is your best bet - 2nd day FedEx is $6.84 
for a total of 52.84.

As I posted a couple weeks back, I have no affiliation with either 
except as a customer.  I've ordered from both many times with no problems.
