You are very welcome.  I too can get nostalgic at times.
I still have a DOS box with WFW3.11, VB3, PowerBASIC and
MASM5 that I fire up now and then.  Lots of fun.

I tried Perl for a short time for a project I was working
on but decided on Python.  I seemed that more sample code
was available for the things I was wanting to do.  Plus
there is a newsgroup where some experienced programmers
hang out.  I did a Python version of Marek's Linfo script
that was written in Bash.  I think you were around back
when he was active on the Ubuntu and Mint groups.
