Thank you all for your great responses and welcomes! It's certainly good to be back and coding! I am having a very good time with Perl. I am actually learning using a website that fits my learning style pretty well. I am going to order a book soon that I have heard is good for beginners: "Learning Perl". Thanks again and I look forward to interacting with you all on a regular basis, although hopefully later on on the other side of the fence!
