Well in general, if you're a polyglot programmer (which all Perl programmers should be because honestly, nobody in their right mind is going to let you program only in Perl all day), you don't have to do much to learn either one.

These three though, have more in common. They all have roughly C-like syntax, passable functions, simple I/O, and good vector and dictionary support by default. To me, they're all the same language in different suits (well, pant-suits in ruby's case ;-).
