I dunno if this is related, but speaking of chart categories and charts in
general, I am working on a web-based IDM chart. It will have all the
standard things a chart has, top 10, top xx top blah. but the way it will
work will be, ppl will come on and vote for their favorite
tracks/albums/etc. or whatever, and then a CGI script will sort out the
results into a nice neat results file that gets updated on the fly.
there were some obstacles, I didn't have a place to put my cgi-bin's, but
that's been solved.. Thanks to Emanuel Borsboom for the account and
diskspace :) and 2nd obstacle, not too much of a big one.. I dunno how to
code in Perl. but I hear that it's easier than the ARexx scripting language
on Amiga (REXX on IBM) and stuff, so that's no problem, however:
if anyone knows of any web-resources for Perl, please send me the info..
thanks, I may just go to the flea market and buy a book, but all I really
need is a good list of commands with syntax and a short description.
overall, a fairly working version of the IDM chart should be up in about a
month.
any comments/ideas are also welcome.
