The internet is getting really paranoid and offended.

Many of the people on this site are happy to donate countless hours and their expertise for free. All we ask is that you meet us partway.

Show us the code you've written. Tell us the exact error messages. Ask specific questions about where you're stuck.

We're happy to help people asking honest questions. Most of us aren't as happy to provide code on demand, even if you ask politely.

(I'm even happy to let you read a book I spent 18 months writing, for free: Modern Perl: the book.)

Alternately you can do it yourself.

HTML::Template gives you a templating system that is pretty easy to use. Google can quickly give you lots of tutorials on how to open a file, and read from it line by line. (You'll probably want to chomp.) After reading each line, follow the directions from HTML::Template for how to create the right input. And you can use the regular expression substitution s/\s+/-/g to go from your phrases to filenames. Again Google can show you lots of examples of how to do a pattern match.

Doing it yourself is going to be cheaper. And you'll actually understand the solution. Which means that as you see new possibilities, you'll be able to take advantage of them yourself.

Sorry, thought it was an easy one. [...] Thought it would be a 5 min task.

Not relevant.

Not lazy, work 100 hours often. Cofounded a top 10 women's website. Sorry it bugged you.

She didn't ask for your resume or stories. She and others here who dedicate their time to help people learn get rightly offended when someone casually pops in feeling entitled to free code on demand. So you respond by claiming you work 100 hours and don't have time for this Perl nonsense? And you assume that people here don't work long hours, have a personal life because out of their goodness decide to spend the little time they have helping others?
