Thanks, Seneca!<br><br>To the degree that it is a programming job it's a Javascript programming job. And not even much of that. More a javascript copy/paste/minor-edit job.<br><br>You need to have a server to host this on in order to tap into the Google Maps API, and you need to register a user key that ties to your web host with Google in order to use the API.<br>
<br>Then, the job becomes - <br><ul><li>create a bone simple web page</li><li>put the javascript block in it that creates a basic google map (their online docs are really good to give you a starter)</li><li>figure out how to put one push-pin into it</li>
<li>figure out how to put many push-pins into it and modify their attributes for colour, labels, etc.</li></ul>I went from zero to knowing how to do the above in about 3 hours when I did this last year. If you've done it before then getting re-familiarized with it is going to take a lot less.<br>
<br>That's 1/2 of the job. The other 1/2 is just digging around online through the world of Perl lore re: what Perl conferences there have been and where they were on what given year. And then translating that into lat/long for Google Maps push-pins.<br>
