_Perl Best Practices_ is a *great* book. It's not really "intro"
exactly and it has no exercises, but I found it really helpful in
clarifying some of the murk that surrounds Perl (TIMTOWTDI) and, well,
"best practices." I highly recommend it.
I'm also a huge fan of _Perl Cookbook_ (and _Programming Perl_), but
again neither are really intro, though the cookbook has 1,000+ pages of
examples.
To really answer you actual question, and based on your posts to this
list, I'd guess that http://minimalperl.com/ might be of interest.
I'd also be interested to know why the books you mentioned don't meet
your needs.
HTH,

Microsoft has single-handedly nullified Moore's Law.
Innate design flaws of Windows make a personal firewall, anti-virus
and anti-malware software mandatory. The resulting software arms race
has effectively flattened Moore's Law on hardware running Windows.
