Perl is a computer programming language that I use for many things.
I have more than 500 Perl programs I have writting that help me
with many things, especially mapping related things.
I recently wrote this simple Wheel of Fortune type program in Perl
to help with my literacy training activities. It's offered here
for free.
Right clink on the link above and save to your disk. It's not
an
installed program, but a self contained program, so it doesn't
put anything substantial on your disk.
If this link does not work, contact me and I'll get you a copy of it.
Please let me know if the program does not work for you.
There are some issues with it for some people. If you get
an error like "There is no disk in the drive . . .", just hit
continue about 10 times and hopefully it will start for you.
Again, please let me know if it works good for you, or
doesn't work at all, or whatever.
Please don't judge Perl by the quality of that program. I threw
that program together in a weekend, and have spent a few hours
since then debugging it.
Perl is a pretty good programming language - very powerful.
Like many computer related things, it has some issues. But I
strongly encourage anybody over 15 who uses computers to
learn it or a similar program. If you are heading for college,
it
will come in handy.
Here are a few links to Perl. You can find many more on Google:
