Yes. And SQL is a good thing for most other work (unless the store is

If Droid is running a JVM then you ought to be able to run Clojure code on
it -- a much more interesting language than Java, closer to Lisp, as someone
on this list first noted a while back. If I were going to take the time
learn another language right now Clojure might be it due to the prevela

I would suggest learning the javscript library jQuery http://jquery.com/
in all its glory (and plugins). (Not trying to get into a war with the
Prototype advocates, but I see way more ads for jQuery expertise).
It's pretty easy to pick up.

JavaScript and SQL are excellent pairings for Perl (or any of the
other P-languages) if you're primarily interested in web-work. A solid
understanding of JavaScript is especially important since AJAX-based
web UIs have come to the fore.
I haven't really used any language beyond these three in an

Well, for playing and learning, and to begin work porting/creating
useful libraries, Perl 6 will have a release in two weeks just for
those purposes!

The languages I've seen most often paired with Perl are SQL, Javascript,
and shell scripting.
Also I know two systems that uses Java for the frontend and Perl for the
backend. I always thought it was a weird pairing, but I don't know if
it's just a coincidence or if that really is a common configu
