    One of the things you do in an early CS course is a banner program. One of the constraints is that you cannot do this.

    Your script should take a string as an argument like this:

    myprog.pl 'Banner Text'

    The program should use a single loop and a simple data structure and step through each character in the input string. Kudos are given for one of many possible clever solutions. I got a lame grade on mine if I remember so don't be afraid to try. If you have no idea how to start ask and ye shall be answered.

    But not until tomorrow night ;)

    Thank you for the down votes, I had no doubt they would happen when I posted, may you be blessed and find peace in your life :)
