Surveys

Hi!

I´ve been thinking ... taking a survey this way seems to be a lot of manual work, one has to read and evaluate every answer, keeping the stats manually. Huh ...

Maybe a survey nodelet (similar to the voting booth) would be nice. The voting booth itself would be quite ok for a start, as long as an individual could start his/her own survey.

Any comments?

Well a voting booth would be nice if people were strictly answering radio button type answers, but I prefer it in a format like this due to all the variance in the answers. Speaking of which, I use: 5.003 (ouch! No, it's not my system. Yes, I know it should be upgraded) 5.6.0 4 other versions in between those, on various OS's I upgrade when I can, but don't consider it a very high priority. If a major version came out (e.g. Perl 6) that would be a different story. Right now there are not many limitations in the language that really affect my day-to-day coding. We've come so far from Perl's humble beginnings that it is almost a point of diminishing return. Not that Perl is perfect yet, and it is good to always strive for perfection, but I don't see many things being added to it that would make people run out and say "How did we ever do without this?"
