Respected monks

Thank you for your advice. Yes I should have checked existing threads, but I did not. Sorry. However, your answers were quite eye opening. Thank you. The advice of focusing on refreshing Perl and learning a tiny bit of Python everyday seems like a good suggestion. I'm currently installing Linux on my personal laptop hence will not be able to post links immediately but I'll try to search and post them. once I find them. Posting this answer from my phone.Thank you again Monks.
