Convince me to keep learning Perl

HALP ME! I've been attempting to learn Perl the last few days and I'm starting to have second thoughts. It seems each new thing I come across introduces a new level of confusion. Convince me to tough it out, or not.

C. An idiot (that is lying)
D. lying
E. lying (and faggot)
