in reply to Learning by Doing

Do you have a favorite charity or non profit organization that has a small web site? Or that wants one? Mine is a small private school where my wife teaches. Perhaps their web master is inexperienced or a volunteer and could use some help. There are a lot of real-world applications waiting to be solved there.

- Parse their ISP logs for error codes (404)
- Parse their ISP logs for which pages are viewed most often (or not at all)
- Built a small user-updatable interface for info that changes a lot
- Maybe some of what they do could be done better from a small database

I don't know if the possibilities are endless, but there are probably a lot of opportunities to use perl in the real world. ;-)
