Depends on what you want to base your career on, let's say you want to be a web developer then I'd recommend to learn Plack, PSGI, mod_perl, memcached, Apache, and so on...

If you want to be a backend developer then I'd go focus more on IPC, threads, OOP, caching strategies, and so on...

If you want to be a Desktop App developer then I'd tell you to learn Gtk2, threads...

As you can see it all depends, of course knowing as much as you can won't hurt. Also don't overlook modern perl tricks such as Moose, Method::Signatures, DBIx::Class or even perl5i.

IMHO Java is not suited for the Web, it has a great community but all frameworks and libraries are there to hide the fact that is really difficult and hard to maintain a site built on Java
