Well you more or less need the books whether or not you take the class. 
  It's not his money, and I doubt they're going to pay him extra to 
learn Perl on his own.  He should take the class.  The only thing 
better than a class is having someone tutor/mentor him personally.. a 
perl guru on-site is probably more expensive than a class.
