Re: Perl High School

Fun & not too dificult ideas:

Use GD to draw a smiley face in a 500x500 square. Then have options buttons (on a html page) to tip the face sideways, upside down, change eye color, etc.

Install a mysql database, use dbi::mysql to select information out of a database to take a survey.

Use GD::Chart (forgot exact name) to plot students grades...

Use image::world (er...) to plot where the parents of the students came from...

PS. IMHO, I've always loved classes that go slightly beyond the scope of what the course is teaching...
PSS. Looked @ your pages... looks like a good reference! :-)

I like the gd idea since we are doing cgi. I'll check out image::world. New to me. Is it hard to use? Ignorance with Confidence	[reply]

The link to the module is here: image-worldmap -- it should be relativly easy to use this module. I tried to get it working on my linux platform at work for about 5 minutes, and it looked like I didn't have the right libaries installed or something... I think it's just a array list of lat and long positions, as I recall... ---- Zak	[reply]
