Is Perl worth learning?

Hi /prog/. I have Programming Perl and some spare time, should I learn Perl? I know the syntax is terrible, but is there anything good about it?

Hmm.. I don't think there are any real benefits to using Perl over other languages. However, I do know lots of people that use Perl to update their sites automatically, but that can be done in other languages. I think it's just fun to code in Perl, though.
