Unless there’s a financial reason, I’d skip Perl and focus on Ruby. And
Scheme is probably a better tutorial language than (Common) Lisp. Check
out “Dr. Scheme”, for example.

Unless you’re Ed, I wouldn’t skip Perl. I actually like the the
language. Why limit yourself?
Another variation on the perl theme: Wait for Perl 6 though – you
will be in good company too ;).

I don’t think it’s necessary to wait for Perl 6 – but I’m certainly
looking forward to it.
