good call, I was going to write something along these lines as well... :-).

While I havnt had much experience with Java/C(++), I've done some VB, pascal (and delphi), plsql (and sql), js, basic, vbs perl, and all the "easy" languages to program in.

To change tact a little, I've found my archetitural skills are the skills I've honed further. The project's I've been involved in, perl has been sufficient (and more than capable), however the implementation of the design becomes the critical factor of the success of the project.

Moving from inline code, riddled with globals, to subroutines and passing references to a nice abstracted set of reusable modules has made life easier and more maintainable for me.

So, why learn another language? because you can.. :-)
