Nice contest idea. It is fairely easy to code but requires some knowledge of Perl and CPAN. I was sorry to see that you excluded Saint level monks, but I can't complain... I don't have time right now to do this anyway. Future contests aught to either involve the saints more as judges or allow them to compete. Maybe a split level contest where code submitted by Abbot's and up are judged separatly from code submitted by lower ranking monks.
