No.
I do not pretend to speak for ORA. But if they really did trademark "Perl", let the conspiracy theories begin!The use of a camel image in association with the Perl language is a trademark of O'Reilly & Associates, Inc.

It seems that quite a few people have asked the same question in the last four years, forcing O'Reilly (and his Associates) to reword the text.
While both state that the association of the two is trademarked, the language from the 2nd edition is somewhat ambiguous. The real question is, do they only have the trademark for one hump camels (as depicted on the cover), or any n-humped camel?
Bottom line: you can use all the camels you want; and you can use all the Perl you want, but if you use them together, you need to ask permission.
Standard disclaimer: I don't work for ORA either, and could be flat out wrong about this.
