"MySQL and Perl for the Web" -- Paul DuBois

That's a good book I enjoyed with plenty of hand on examples. It worked for me as I tend to learn by doing stuff and this book provided me with a number of examples to work through and customize but also give me enough information about what everything does to understand.

What kind of SQL language.....mysql, oracle, postresql?

They vary quite a lot so mysql may be a good first choice as it is one of the most widely used.

perldoc.com is the best place for perl:

http://perldoc.com/

mysql.com is the best place for mysqlWink

http://www.mysql.com

Then there are places in between:

http://dbi.perl.org/doc/index.html

An example chapter from a popular DBI book:
