The quest system is an important part of the emu. I haven't ever worked with them, but I see frequent requests for them.
I don't know anything about Perl, but if it will work in both environments, great.
One thing I have noticed is a lot of professional game companies use Python. Of course, I don't know anything about that - but if you're in this to learn, Python may be a good route to take since it is so widespread in this industry. Personally, I want to learn python and if someone were to implement quests with it, that goal would be that much easier.
On the other hand, I see perl as more of a business language, which doesn't interest me much. I'm sure it could do a fantastic job, but I'd rather get paid to learn something like that.
