 I taught myself Perl last year because I've been using Linux a lot more and Perl comes in the standard Debian install. I've used it for a few things because it's honestly the fastest thing I know how to use for doing text stuff and it's also pretty easy to use to send arbitrary stuff over IP sockets. I don't like how it handles function arguments but at least the stuff I write is so simple I don't need functions. A+ would recommend if you have it sitting on your hard drive anyway
