What would be beneficial to non-Perl programmers would be a good,
succint listing of what is deemed a good coverage of Geo
tools/libraries. In addition, a description of any of the general math
or algorithmic principles behind the libraries.

Good idea! Building on this could be a way to start writing the OSGeo edu book 2: "Developing Geospatial Solutions using Open Source"

I started the page: http://wiki.osgeo.org/index.php/Developing_Geospatial_Solutions_using_Open_Source please feel free to contribute problems, solutions, description of the coverage, etc.

Then those of us who use/prefer other languages could provide/link-to
similar tools in those languages.

For example:
GPX Parser
definition - http://www.topografix.com/gpx.asp
Perl - http://search.cpan.org/~rbow/Geo-Cache/lib/Geo/Gpx.pm
Ruby - http://www.tom-carden.co.uk/googlegpx/upload-gpx
Python - http://cheeseshop.python.org/pypi/pygpx/

So then if someone comes to the list, they can see gaps in languages,
or find desired functionality and then choose their language, etc.

Many of the languages have so much similarity porting between them
wouldn't be hard either.
