Re^5: How Many Languages are in Your .pl?

Absolutely. P::RD is also non-turing complete, for that matter. Maybe, a reworded version of the OP should be "Turing-complete languages and/or complex specifications." SQL and HTML are both complex specifications, one for datasets and the other for layout. Neither of them, however, are Perl, which I think what the OP was trying to get at.

Being right, does not endow the right to be rude; politeness costs nothing.
Being unknowing, is not the same as being stupid.
Expressing a contrary opinion, whether to the individual or the group, is more often a sign of deeper thought than of cantankerous belligerence.
Do not mistake your goals as the only goals; your opinion as the only opinion; your confidence as correctness. Saying you know better is not the same as explaining you know better.

Not necessarily complex, either. It's more like what hv pointed out below--you get a mini-language whenever you parse data. Pack/Unpack aren't particuarly complex, but I still consider them a mini-language.
