None, write your .emacs in Perl ;-)

    Excellent! Leave it to those crafty hackers to get perl into emacs. I should still probably get the equivalent of "Learning LISP" though. ;-)

      Honestly you don't need to know lisp unless you plan on writing your own modes (which I'm sure you could do with Perlmacs). Usually you're just setting various values, and loading a few modes.
