PerlTest v1.1

This script lets you create tests and quizes that you can put online and whose responses can be tracked. I think it's pretty easy to set up, I tried to make the readme file pretty thorough. Where ever possible, i've tried to make the set up process nothing more than changing a few lines of code and putting the files in the right place on your server. This script is very customizable, so if you know anything about Perl you should have no problem changing it for your own purposes. In fact, if you make any progressive changes to the code, please email them to me because i'd like to evolve this into something bigger and better. I'll be updating it from time to time myself, so please check back once and a while.

Anyway, here's the files you'll need. Feel free to use this stuff however you want, i'd just appreciate it if you could leave my name on the code somewhere, and please email me the addresses of the examples you create, I'm interested in seeing the code in practice:

PerlTest.zip This is a zipped file containing all the files you'll need to set up your own PerlTest, including the readme.txt file and the example i put online here.

PerlTest Example
Here's the example i made. The questions are stolen from the Trivial Pursuit page. Sorry. If this example isn't working it's probably because my service provider has changed the path of my account AGAIN without telling me. I don't check this site too often so sometimes when i do i find it's broken and i have no idea how long it's been. Look at the examples listed below if that's the case.

View Script Just have a look at the perl script.

View ReadMe Just have a look at the ReadMe file.
