what scripting language you learn depends a lot on what kind of work you want to do ... php is going to be the one to choose for web stuff ( I wouldn't pick it for command line scripts, although I'm sure somebody out there would ) ... perl is really good if you, for example, work in a product support position where you end up dealing with a lot of text files that needs similar modifications ( ie: database records to be unloaded as a template, modified, and uploaded ). larger scripts are definately possible, but at one point you will question the readability ... I've not used python that much, but I have liked what I have seen so far ...
FYI - Perl is my main language ... I love it, but I can't deny that sometimes I look at old code and whisper to myself: "wtf?" .... maybe I should just write more comments, but that's another topic entirely
