I Made It In Perl -- Want It?

[barsoomcore]

So my campaign site has had a Journal feature where I jot down my version of what happened each session. I created a Perl script that allows me a lot of flexibility in how I present and search for journal entries (so I can display a single entry, a season's full, all entries set in a particular place or on a particular date, or whatever).

I just did some cleaning up of it and adding a bunch of comments to make it clear what it does -- and I was wondering if any other DMs would be interested in making use of it.

It's not Moveable Type, but okay, it's not Moveable Type. You'd want to have some HTML skills and a willingness to learn the very very basics of Perl (what I know about Perl could be easily taught in about twenty minutes), but once you're set up it's very easy to make use of. You keep your journal entries in a single file and then you can build forms or insert links to display whatever entries you like.

Let me know if you're interested and I can make them available to you. There's one script, two libraries (one of which you have to change a single value in, and the other which you can rewrite to your heart's content) and a data file (where you write your journal entries).

Cool.

Well, if your posted email address worked, I'd send it there, but it doesn't, so I didn't.

Tell me where to send it, and I will.
