You didnt format your question in any way. You didnt even attempt to help us to help you. You didnt post what code you have so that our help can be constructive and not actually sub-contracting your homework. If my boss asked me to do something with that description I would refuse until it was rewritten. Why should I do different for you?

As it is homework, we might help, especially if the person shows that they've made an effort.

Take the time, read the posting guidlines, Perl Monks Approved HTML tags, make use of the preview button, but most importantly _try_ to solve the problem yourself.

I would suggest that a good place to start would be to go back thru the notes for the course where you were set this problem. They will either cover the subject in detail or point you at further reading that will help you.

If this isn't the case then you should probably go back to the lecturer and ask for further guidance.

There are a couple of Universities that teach perl. Or at least there are in Victoria, Australia.

Monash University (of Damian Conway fame) teaches perl but that's hardly a surprise.

La Trobe University also has some course notes that detail HTTP client programming in perl. They even mention one of my modules, which is how I found out they were teaching perl in the first place.

Of course, there's also The University of Perl, which also used to teach it.

You're posting to the best of 'em, sib :)

I think this course is only offered during the Spring semester. That is the only time I have ever seen it listed. The instructor is Michael McMillian (or McMillan). He has written a book or two about perl programming, but I can't remember the titles off hand.
