Subject: Ruby, Perl, Python

As a new programmer (still in school), I'm curious as to the world of
scripting languages and their roles. I am learning Ruby (played a bit
with Rails a year ago, but more recently have been using it for my own
scripting projects), but I have zero experience with Perl and Python,
which seem to be pretty household names and thus I feel out of the loop.

I guess what I'm asking is: assuming I become a proficient Rubyist, is
there a reason to learn Perl or Python (beyond someone handing me a pile
of code in one of those languages and telling me to maintain it)?

Thanks,
J
