Random Test Creator

[colby2152]

I want to create an online test that takes N random questions and answer selections from some files or database on my website. I then want the script to be able to remember which questions they were and want the user selected as his/her answers, so it can give feedback on what the solutions are and the user's score.

Also, if there user's score can be saved to a database, then that would be helpful, but that is not necessary right now.

Was that a work order being given? Is it a one off job you want to get done or you really want to know how to use Perl to get it done?

All right....

1) How much of Perl coding do you know?
2) Make your mind about using files or database - both require totally different approaches, latter may require use of modules. Have you worked with Perl Modules?
3) If you use database to store question/answers, then adding score shouldn't be a problem.

No, this is a personal agenda. I have never used Perl, and I have been trying to set up a database, but it proves to be very difficult for me. I am very accustomed to HTML, and I already have questions set up in HTML. I just want to create an interface that will call a certain number questions (based on category) at random, have the user take the quiz and hold their score.
