I learned from this book. However, it was a much older version.
The thing I like about this book is that it shows you how to actually write things in Perl. When I first started to write Perl, it was not pretty; True it was Perl, but it written like C. I didn't fully embrace all the great language features and syntax that Perl offers you as the developer.
Check out CPAN and /r/perl.
The other great thing about this book is that it tells you what Perl, as a language is really good at. In addition to showing you what Perl is good at, the book alludes to what Perl may not be so good at.
Like ElCapitanMarklar said, don't get too carried away learning Perl if you don't need for your prospective internship.
If you just want to learn Perl, do it. Perl is an all-around neat language and can be a blast to work with.
I started by learning Ruby it's a nice language to start with because it isn't syntax heavy, but it introduces you to the basics of getting a computer to do something. The book I got was Learn to Program. It's well written and a bit funny in places a nice place to start. Since then I've used Lynda.com($) and Code Academy (free). I'm 16 now and am building websites through my parents company for $20 an hour. Good luck.
Do you have any programming experience?
