Do you think those two languages are useful to know?

I think any programming language is useful to know. Having the added knowledge will not hurt you. Of the two you mentioned, I think Perl would be more beneficial. However, if I had to pick a scripting language to learn, I'd go with Python since it's much less cryptic than Perl.

but I can't see why it would be useful in electrical engineering...

Programming is quite useful for many engineering disciplines, especially mechanical and electrical. For instance, to do signal processing, modeling, and simulation good programming skills are necessary (as well as excellent math skills).
