It's perl, not pearl.
Perl can also be a tedious one, as a shell scripting language tends to have a lot of flexibilities in the language syntax that makes it appear to be highly confusing (in fact I personally think aside TCL, Perl's syntax is quite confusing for starters). However, if you are dedicated to it, IMO Perl is a good choice.
Syntax of programming languages like C(++) or Java tends to be more structured and may be more straightforward to some.
After all, if you have spent some time to really learn any language it won't appear confusing anymore. But I won't recommend you to learn many languages at one time. You may arbitrarily choose one, get on with it and once you have some experience with it, then learn another one.

NAME
syntax - Activate syntax extensions
VERSION
version 0.004
SYNOPSIS
# either
use syntax 'foo';
# or
use syntax foo => { ... };
# or
use syntax qw( foo bar ), baz => { ... };
DESCRIPTION
This module activates community provided syntax extensions to Perl. You pass it a feature name, and optionally a scalar with arguments, and
the dispatching system will load and install the extension in your package.
The import arguments are parsed with Data::OptList. There are no standardised options. Please consult the documentation for the specific
syntax feature to find out about possible configuration options.
The passed in feature names are simply transformed: "function" becomes Syntax::Feature::Function and "foo_bar" would become
"Syntax::Feature::FooBar".
METHODS
import
syntax->import( @spec );
This method will dispatch the syntax extension setup to the specified feature handlers for the calling package.
import_into
syntax->import_into( $into, @spec );
Same as "import", but performs the setup in $into instead of the calling package.
unimport
syntax->unimport( @features );
This method will trigger uninstallations of the @features from the calling package.
unimport_from
syntax->unimport_from( $from, @features );
Same as "unimport", but will uninstall the @features from $from.
RECOMMENDED FEATURES
o Syntax::Feature::Function
Activates functions with parameter signatures.
SEE ALSO
Syntax::Feature::Function, Devel::Declare
