Perl

I've started learning Perl as my first programming language. I'm planning to get that (mainly) mastered and then move onto C. Is this a good idea y/n? Unfortunately I'm also having to learn python at some point too, for blender-related things (I didn't really like it very much when I tried it).

Also, I'm taking a computing course next year. The guy said we'd be learning a programming language which ended in the sound "ell". What is it likely to be? I have a terrible memory. Would it be a good idea to learn the basics of it by myself first?
