Dear Spug,

Sorry for the last email. I didn't check the To: line close enough.

> > A client's web site has 3 sections, or Chapters, consisting of roughly
> > 5-10 tests each.  It is expected that 300 students will take these
> > tests.  Scripting has already been implemented to grade these tests and
> > return the following information: user ID, test ID, date, score (e.g. 6
> > out of 10), percentage (e.g. 60%), and written grade (e.g. "Pass" or
> > "Fail").

> > The completed version of this testing process requires a Perl script(s)
> > that performs the following operations when queried:
> >
> > 1.  Create an individual student record to track the following
> > information: A) user ID and B) the test ID, date, score, percentage and
> > written grade for each test taken within a Chapter.  Again, less than
> > 300 students and about 30 tests grouped into 3 distinct Chapters.
> >
> > 2. Create a dynamic page containing a summary of the student's test
> > results and progress for each Chapter. In other words, the script should
> > find a student's record, group all completed tests, scores and other
> > information by Chapter, and then generate a dynamic summary page with
> > that information for that Chapter.  Scripting has already been
> > implemented to call the Perl script with a user ID stored in a
> > client-side cookie.

> > Conclusion:

> > This appears to be a fairly straightforward problem, although a bit
> > beyond my reach of Perl programming abilities at this point.  Although I
> > do have the skills to successfully create dynamic pages using Perl (i.e.
> > sticking variables into a Perl script to generate a custom page), I do
> > not have the technical wherewithal to store, sort and retrieve
> > information in the manner I have described herein.  Hence my main goal
> > is to acquire the proper Perl scripting to support the data base
> > functions for tracking multiple students and their subsequent test
> > information.
