That seems to be a fun project! Perl is a very good programming language for starters. The nice thing is that you can start with simple things and that once your students advance in knowledge you can introduce more advanced concepts, yet even with the simple elements they have learned in the beginning they can already write working and useful programs. A simple "beginners level" book is "Perl for Beginners", freely available at BookBoon. If you are on Windows, Strawberry Perl is indeed a good choice. Padre isn't installed by default, but as it is just another module, you can install it yourself from CPAN. CountZero A program should be light and agile, its subroutines connected like a string of pearls. The spirit and intent of the program should be retained throughout. There should be neither too little or too much, neither needless loops nor useless variables, neither lack of structure nor overwhelming rigidity." - The Tao of Programming, 4.1 - Geoffrey James My blog: Imperial Deltronics
