I only use CGI, I really don't like programming for the command line. But here are a few projects that I find interesting.

  • HTML parsers/code analyzers
  • Image manipulations with ImageMagick (very fun!)
  • System analyzers (calculate RAM, CPU information, OS information, etc)
  • Create an FTP client in Perl..not sure WHY, but it would be something I'd personally be impressed with!
  • Games are always fun-- Guess a numbers, Hangman, Tic Tac Toe with AI!
