Have a look at this excellent introduction to Unix and Perl from Ian Korf's lab: http://korflab.ucdavis.edu/Unix_and_Perl/

The Beginning Perl for Bioinformatics by Tisdall is probably a must-have for biologists wanting to learn Perl, even though it is a bit out-dated now.

For BioPerl specifically, you'll want to take a look at the HOWTOs on the BioPerl wiki to see some worked examples.

Teach Yourself Perl in 21 Days and Beginning Perl are now more than 10 years old and Perl has changed a great deal since they were published.

I would recommend these books as good introductions to Perl as it is now:

Learning Perl 6th edition

Modern Perl

There is also a new edition of Programming Perl (the O'Reilly Camel book) just out.
