Hopefully the learning never ends. (:
I'll make a small plug for learning another language- you can sometimes grow a lot more by learning a different way of programming in a new language than you would by just sticking with one language. I'm not bashing perl- I love it. But i think that I'm a stronger programmer for having learned assembly language programming & scheme in college. For more on this, you should check out Why I like functional programming.
I'd recommend scheme as a great second language- or lisp (they're fairly similiar- I learned lisp first, but I hear that scheme is better to start with). But I think you'd get the same benefit by learning Java or some other language -- just make sure that it's one that interests you.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
