I would recommend PHP or Python or similar as a better starting place. When you get way down under the hood, then you'd probably want to introduce some C/C++. Perl was, maybe is, a good tool. Wall did a great job of keeping what was essentially a report generator in a position which was useful. However, technology marches on.
