It would depend on what program you want to create and where it will run. If you are an MSAccess expert, then it is logical that you learn Visual Basic because it uses MSAccess as it's database. It would also depend if you plan to create a multi-modular library system yourself or use another software. If you plan to do the latter then it would be wise to learn the language used to create that software.
Perl is a good language to learn. Sometimes it is best to leave programming to programmers because it is another big field to study & master. I experienced that when my Student Assistants created a library system for their thesis. It was difficult for programmers to learn how libraries work and vice versa. But if you are really inclined to learn, then go ahead. You might creat the best library software because a librarian programmed it. But you shouldn't do it alone; consult experts in the planning, coding and testing stages.
