"my professor assigned perl just to see how good we'd do (with only basic instruction on perl)." (from your first post on the topic)

Are you sure he expects people to do well? It seems if he gave only basic instruction on Perl, he gave an interesting set of requirements. . . I'm just guessing he may intend something through this assignment other than seeing you write a professional program. Do you know he's going to give you an actual grade on it?
