in reply to Perl Assignments Needed

You might consider a real world project, whose assignments would be stages in the project. One idea might be a web page for the high school football team, with scores and stats. Assignment might be things like:

  • Introduction to MySQL
  • MySQL I/O using Perl DBI.
  • Calculations using data read from MySQL database.
  • Introduction to Perl CGI.
  • Making a dynamic web page.
  • Making an input form.
The example I give would require access to a MySQL database and an apache server. But setting those up could be an assignment too ;).

If your local football coach can't give you data, then one assignment could be:

Scraping high school football data off the local sports page.

    Then again, if these students' feelings about the football team are anything like mine were when I was in high school, this project might end up with a few not-exactly-benevolent "quirks" or "easter eggs" in it...

    Great concept, just make sure that the students are favorably-disposed towards the subject matter.
