+Task 1: String Alike
+Submitted by: Mohammad Sajid Anwar
+
+You are given a string of even length.
+
+Write a script to find out whether the given string can be split into two
+halves of equal lengths, each with the same non-zero number of vowels.

+  return false unless $len % 2 == 0;

+  $len >>= 1;
+  # Get both half and their vowel length

+Task 2: Covert Time
+Submitted by: Mohammad Sajid Anwar
+
+You are given two strings, $source and $target, containing time in 24-hour time form.
+
+Write a script to convert the source into target by performing one of the following operations:
+
+1. Add  1 minute
+2. Add  5 minutes
+3. Add 15 minutes
+4. Add 60 minutes
+
+Find the total operations needed to get to the target.
