Day 21. Exploring a Few Longer Examples
As with Days 7 and 14, which closed out Weeks 1 and 2 of this book, we'll close Week 3 with another chapter of examples. The two we'll look at cover nearly every aspect of Perl you've learned over the last twenty days. If you can make it through these examples, you'll be just fine with most of the things you might be asked to do with Perl.
Today we'll look at two examples, both of which are CGI scripts:
A customized stock portfolio manager that keeps track of multiple portfolios and downloads the latest stock prices from Yahoo! Finance whenever you view your portfolio.
A Web-based To Do list that allows you to add and remove items, mark them as done, prioritize them, and sort them in a variety of ways.
