A web-based quiz and set-up script
Quiz is a perl script, that processes and scores the users input
to an HTML quiz page, allowing up to 25 questions. It gives you
the option of having the user's results emailed to you (if you
so desire), along with their name and email address (if provided).
This makes Quiz useful for such things as on-line CEU's etc.
Each HTML page can be created manually, without changing anything
in the script, via a large number of hidden form tags. Although
this setup works very well, and allows you extreme control over
the look and content of your quiz HTML page(s), it is time-consuming
to set them up this way.
WHY DID WE WRITE QUIZMASTER??
Quizmaster is a perl script, that creates any number of quiz HTML
pages for you, simply by filling out a few HTML forms. The quiz
HTML pages are then written to the server, where they can be
accessed by anyone via the WWW.
This allows you to rapidly setup a whole series of QUIZ pages,
and add more at any time as needed. This also lends itself well
to web-authors who are creating on-line educational programs.
Quizmaster is password protected, and you may set the password to
anything you like.
Quiz and Quizmaster were written on a LINUX machine, for a LINUX
machine. This means that they will work on LINUX servers, will PROBABLY
work on BSD servers, MAY need some modification to work on other
UNIX systems, and would need MAJOR modifications to work on MS-based
servers (if you have an NT server, rather than modifying QUIZ, why
not just switch to a LINUX/UNIX server...you'll be much happier
anyway).
Quiz and Quizmaster come as one package, free of any charge, and
may be used any modified for any good purpose, so long as you agree
to hold the authors harmless, in the even of any disaster, either
real or imagined, resulting from the use of this software.
