Another top post. Please google for top post and learn why it's not a good
way to reply.

just what I want to read the hard copies of books, so I
should buy the books from bookstore, however, I am in China, I cannot
find any good book about Perl,

I have given you several tips on *free* documentation you can read. You're
having a non-problem.

whatever is from bookstore or online
shop. Frankly speaking, Perl is not very popular and welcomed by
programmers in China, all books in bookstore's shelves are about C++,
Java, VB.net etc--- no good books are available to see. If you don't
believe it, you can come to China to see what happens to Perl here?

I live in Mexico, and can't hardly read Spanish, so I understand that part
of the story. I solved it by doing some Perl work in exchange for book(s)
for people with a very small budget, TANSTAAFL, and it makes me happy. I
got Higher Order Perl that way (which you can also download for free by
the way).

So I need your help to get online free book which owns PDF format, and
then print it book.

Like others said, the format doesn't matter, PDF, CHM, plain text.
Perl comes with excellent documentation, you can download PDF versions
from: http://perldoc.perl.org/perl.html Just pick what you want to learn.

Or you can keep asking for a certain book from Wrox press. But I doubt
anyone here is going to send it to you by email. In my opinion if you want
to become a programmer you must be able to solve such a task yourself, or
stand above it, and go with the standard documentation. I have read a few
of those documents myself, and while they are together not an easy to read
book (several authors, etc), the info is there, and more.
