Wow!

You know, you could use this technology to build a training site for Perl with interactive programming challenges...

(/me getting big eyes!)

    I think this would be a really good use of the technology, and beneficial to perl, able to try things/do exercises in browser.

      We could combine it with perlmonks ... so that XP "whores" write lessons, editors link them to learning trails and students can ask questions linked to lessons.

      If I only had a local copy of the monastery's code for experimenting with a local installation ...

      On another note: I had to design a Perl training recently and wrote a mail with a list of self assesment questions to my colleagues.

      I'll try to translate it today and post it under meditations.

      Yesterday I was confronted with a freelancer who didn't know what a "hash" is, no matter how I named it ... OO

      (Would be a bless if I could simply send a link to a training lesson.)

      Cheers Rolf

        My initial idea was that it would be really cool if there was a https://try.perl.org which would provide a nice interface to this, allowing people to try out perl code, learn things, complete exercises or whatever, before installing perl. Another option would be to host a page here, and provide a link under each snippet of code posted, like the download one, saying something like 'run this code in your browser' though obviously there are a lot of limitations around this.

        Where would a local copy of the monasteries code be necessary when developping an E-learning course? Most if not all of the logic will be client-side anyway, at least if I understand it correctly.

        What features would need a tight integration with Perlmonks?

        apropos a general training site and not necessarily with what the WebPerl site offers, here is an idea: assess students by presenting them with an old question from the PM without the answers. Then slowly reveal answers from the lowest voted to the highest as hints. Or give them a random paragraph from an answer as a hint.

        That could also become a "how good at Perl you are" test. PM is a treasure trove for material, don't know who has the copyright.

        the WebPerl Regex tester is great and looks great too! well done.

    Thanks! And yes, it could certainly be used for something like that. A simplified version of the "mini IDE" that's included could be embedded in pages with example code. (I myself unfortunately won't have too much time to do anything like that soon*, I'll most likely be using WebPerl for another project for the rest of the year. Update: But I'd be happy to help, of course! :-) )

    * Update 2: Nevermind :-)
