I also wonder about Perl. Is it viable to learn as a beginner or is it something to avoid? I ask this because I have seen people argue Python vs Perl and many people seem to dis Perl because it is too flexible and hard to read. I tried Perl first and I liked it, but I switched because everyone told me to learn Python because it is easier, more popular, beter OO support, which is still way above my level to make a difference right now anyway.
I'd still recommend C++ over C, IMO. Unless you want to be closer to hardware/lower level, C++ would be fine. Besides, C++ is pretty much C with a more software-oriented approach compared to C.

Why does everyone seem to hate Perl though. I kind of liked the five minutes or so I spent with it.

This doesn't further the whole 'perl' discussion but... I really dislike 'assembly' language
Unless I will ever need to in the future, C++ is as low as I would like to go.
