Perl is good to know if you are going to be doing a lot of programming 
involving text manipulation. However, its syntax can appear to be rather 
cryptic at times. I'm pretty comfortable with Perl up to Perl 4. I 
haven't gotten in to the use of modules used in Perl 5.

If you are interested in learning something for more general purpose 
programming, I would suggest you look at Python, or perhaps even Ruby.
