"do you guys think it makes sense to learn Perl or Python?"

Why not both? Seriously, there's no sense limiting yourself to one thing. The right tool for the right job, the right tool for the right employer, there's much to consider but in terms of career prospects don't limit yourself to one thing. Learn the fundamentals of computing, learn to solve problems, you can then use whatever language best fits the situation (company, team, task....). From a few days ago Programming language Python is a big hit for machine learning. But now it needs to change, accept that change happens, in some fields more than others.
