This sounds like a difficult situation for the "intern". No pay and can't afford books? I hope he is resourceful.

I can afford books, but I learned Perl solely by using internet resources. PerlMonks is an excellent source of course as is PerlDoc and if he is a Win32 type ActiveState.

It seems he has access to a PC of some sort hopefully it is hooked into the internet.

He needs a problem to solve that he understands to start with. Re-writing the Unix utils is good, but may be too much to start with. Give him access to some good code and encourage him to write like that.
