To do list for this weekend.
- Investigate how to create a Perl xml-rpc server. I've created servers before but they were in PHP.
- Investigate calling SQL code on SQL Server via Perl scripts.
- Install my QVC bargain copy of Adobe Acrobat
- Start pulling together the framework design for Quine2 including DB tables
Fair chuffed wi masel. After plugging away at the W3C HTML validator source code at work I've now managed to create a version that works running on a PC under IIS - all the issues turned out to be related to file paths and having to rework the way the SP XML parser call is made (I put it in a Win32::Process call instead of the piped version). Now maybe at last I can persuade them of the worth of installing Perl on development servers. It's bloody useful, that's why. I mean now all I have to do on web sites being developed is stick a link using the referer syntax into a site-wide header/footer and I can browse my site and *in one click* validate the page without having to use the file upload mechanism because the online version can't access internal servers. And developers like me are fundamentally lazy when it comes to 'drudgery' of manual submissions. Now that this can be automated we'll have completely run out of excuses for not validating code. One click, doesn't get much simpler.
