Thank you for those kind words Don. I would be delighted to discuss the
NC State implementation with anyone who is interested.

I recently developed a survey prototype following the general

Web interface, it proved to be more complicated than I had
expected. This
involved an "Active State" PERL interface and a Web hosting site as
well as
Active Links, Filters and macros. Eventually, I plan to add an
escalation
to bypass the human interface form where the time periods to survey
are
selected. Since the workflow schematic is all on paper, I can't that
(unless I take a picture and download it). I'll be happy to
contribute what
I can to any interested parties.
One site you may want to check out is the NCSU helpdesk which has a
very
good example of a clean, concise survey interfaced with a PERL main
module:
http://help.ncsu.edu/services/survey/survey.pl?callid=###### where
######
is the actual ticket number of your ticket. If you open up a
dialogue with
them you will find them very accommodating.
I checked out a good number of COTS packages for possible use and
found that
despite promises and assurances from the Reps, every one of them
fell short
of the basic functionality we required. What we wanted was very
simple but
we did not want our users logging in to our Remedy system and we
did want
the capability of a sliding "Likert" scale response in a Web
interface.
Feel free to contact me directly if you think I can be of help.
