If you are looking for a Perl based job and need to update your knowledge, what you should study?
Chinese. Because that's where the next big wave of jobs are coming from.

In my experience, to get a Perl job, most of the time you need something else. For the past 15 years, I've used Perl in my job in one form or another. In only one job, I was an actual Perl developer (but I was hired for knowing more than just Perl); for the rest, Perl was just an important tool. Saying "I want a Perl job" sounds to be "I want a job where I can drive a car". There are lots of jobs that involve driving cars. But for most of them, having a driving license isn't the only (or the most important) requirement for the job. Nor is the job advertised as "driving a car".
