Perl - for text formatting, cleaning up error log files, and general
all-purpose work with text and my NT filesystem. Regex is my best friend
sometimes.
VBA for Word - cleaning up Word docs, making them easier to import into
FrameMaker.
FrameScript - for automation in Frame.
WebWorks Publisher macro language - because I have to, not because it's a
keen language with a nice IDE so I don't have to squint at a non-resizeable
window filled with wrapped text...sorry, was I ranting?
JavaScript - so I can customize the output from WWP because of corporate
demands. Now I get to add "InterDev debugger use" to my resume. Hooray!
