Should I learn Perl

On my brand new Fedora 13 I notice that a lot of stuff is managed trough Perl. I'm always been curious about it, but I never watched at it, while I'm pretty good in many other languages (like C, C++, Java and Python).

What do you think about it? Is it worthy to learn it?

Perl is a perfectly fine tool for anything smaller than about five lines -- much like how sed is highly sufficient for simple find and replace operations, but stupid for anything more complex than that.
