Ruby and the book "Learning Ruby in 21 days" (horrible title, I know). Ruby
doesn't have to be Perl-like, and actually, it isn't. Also take a look at
Chris Pine's tutorial: http://pine.fm/LearnToProgram/

I guess traditional Basic would be even easier, but you'll probably want
potential for "the advanced stuff", too.
