I won't say "better" but Perl 6 is ... interesting. It's not clear what version you're using.
I suggest Haskell as your next language instead of Perl, since it will change how you think. https://learnyouahaskell.com is a good place to start.
When people say perl, they normally mean Perl 5. Perl 6 is now called Raku and is considered a different language.
It's not that far from the tree
I've been brainwashed into finding Elixir interesting due to how it handles parallelism and how good it's supposed to be for live debugging. (According to ~3 talks I found on youtube)
Edit: Syntax error
Also a good choice. I've never used Elixir but have used Erlang. Elixir is just Erlang with different surface syntax, pretty much. https://learnyousomeerlang.com is a good way to start with Erlang.
