Learn C/C++. You will be able to work with XS, inline, and maybe improve Perl CORE.

You can use Java, VB, and the list goes... But try to get away of commercial things (yes, Java is one too), since any commercial language have the strategy to make you dependent of it. Well, is just a chess game, I don't disagree with this type of strategy. I just don't like who don't know what they are doing with you. You can lear them (doesn't hurt), can be good if you need a job. Is just a question of who are making the rules of your life, and I can tell you that you can make your rules, you just need to make them from the begining of the "film" (once you are in, you can come out).

One good thing of C/C++ is that you can use for anything, and all major OS have some compiler for it. But the best of C++ is to can work in top projects, like build a GUI library, or work with kernel, and much more... (things that are not possible with other languages)

But know that you always have something to know (specially about Perl). The only day that you have nothing to learn, is the day that you go away... Learn just tell to us that we are live! ;-P
