Re: Solicitation Of Ideas For "Time Capsule" Project

Sounds like fun.

Could it be something to do with web scraping, then all OS's can take part. Maybe something to run against Perlmonks?

Exactly. Re: all OS, I meant not a filesystem task. It could easily be a number crunching task though. Walking the road to enlightenment... I found a penguin and a camel on the way..... Fancy a yourname@perl.me.uk? Just ask!!!	[reply]

ghenry, I am not ruling anything out, but I am looking for specific tasks. The idea is that Perl allows you to do a lot with a little. As we grow as programmers we learn the many ways to do it and begin to use the "best" tool for the job. If you can think of a specific web scraping task that is small enough in scope then by all means present it. Cheers - L~R	[reply]
