I'm in a similar situation. I've learned Perl so well that there is 
little incentive for me to learn PHP, Python, or Ruby. My Perl style 
changes over time though; lately more functional elements have been 
creeping into my code, so maybe it is finally time for me to go back 
and really learn Scheme. (Of the languages i was exposed to in college, 
Scheme was by far my favorite. Representing the other extreme were 
COBOL and Fortran. I look forward to never using either of those 2 
again.) I'd really miss CPAN if i switch to another language though.
