Don,
1. Do not go for a separate GUI - go for a simple cgi application to take
users questions, choices, and the correct answer. This will alleviate the
problem of trying to run your GUI on the users machine. You can even go for
a knowledge base too, and let the user choose from existing questions.
2. Are you planning on generate the necessary html pages for all the
questions, and the validation to see if the user's user went through the
questions in orders or not, including the score tracking as an independent
application that you would give to your user - who would in turn would post
it on their web server and provided it to the public ? or would you be
running this on your webserver for the user. In the later case you have much
more flexibility of how you would go about implementing.
3. Since you are Perl programmer, you know all on your list can be done
without much trouble. I did not understand what you meant by "Graphical html
historical quiz data." ?
4. Count me in if you are willing to talk.
Thx. Edwin (914)365-7613

Hmm I don't seem to be getting any mail except direct personal
mail about my request for a perl programmer.
So let me give out some more info.
I program well in Delphi. I also program in Perl.
What I am doing is creating a GUI interface to allow a non-perl
programmer to create a quiz program for their web site. Yes I know
there are a few of them out there, but most lack in versatility.
This will create the cgi and HTML page code, and upload all
files with FTP to a users site, and set permissions so you can
quickly create any type of quiz and upload it in a matter of minutes.
I will later expand this to include Guestbooks, URLlists, Greeting cards
and maybe more.
Modules required
email validation
html creation
form processing
score calculation and emailing results to admin.
tracking to see if client has taken quiz or not.
Password access as needed.
Graphical html historical quiz data.
While a lot of these type of code exist out there, this needs to be original
and copyright free as it will be included in a commercial product.
If you write it for me I own it, but the author will be given credit in the
perl code when it is generated.
Perl scrips created by exc..exc..exc
Copyright help by Donald P. Dahlman.
GUI created by Donald P. Dahlman
and so on...
For the most part the total scope will be around 70k of perl
a medium size scripting project.
I hope this helps. Time required to complete this project
is slated to be several weeks of spare time allotted.
Thanks.
