Well, "After" meaning "Besides", or "Other than", not "After you're done with Perl5". Some of the comments mention, for example, SQL (presumably from Perl) and C for XS modules.
Personally, I've spent some time with Nim (very cool, Python like, but transpiles to 'C') and Golang. Also recently posted my first XS module on CPAN.

Besides Perl and the other "languages" I need to know to use Perl (SQL, some Perl tool DSLs, used to be JavaScript/HTML/CSS), I try to stay as far away from the computer as possible! I try to balance what's in my head between the virtual and the physical, and mostly what interests me other than Perl is working the land and raising my animals. What I do for a living is so completely inconsequential in the face of life, death and meaning, that in other pursuits I most enjoy producing tangible results. I mean really tangible, like eggs, or a neat manure pile ...
The way forward always starts with a minimal test.
