CGI work

Here are some of the CGI programs that I've done. They are programmed in Perl, which is a language which lends itself nicely to this kind of work.


My term project

As part of the computer science study, the students shall complete a major programming task, usually working two and two. I wanted to do something related to the web, so together with Reidar Agasøster I worked on a system for presenting exam results on the web. With this system, a student can get a list of his exam results either from the most current semester, a specific semester, or from his whole period at the school. Each student must supply a number which serves as an authentication, so the results are rather private. The system was developed in the spring of 1996, and was put into use here at HiS in June, as the first such system in Norway.


The web page search form

To facilitate the lookup of specific items of information, I wrote a program for searching the contents of my web pages. The search can be in all pages, or be confined to specific sections (ie. Enigma, Sandra, personal pages).


Mailing list archives search

This is a program that searches the monthly archives of the Enigma mailing list. These archives contain all communication that have taken place on the list, and is an excellent source of information. The search program makes it easy to consult these archives.


Display individual archive messages

Working in conjunction with the above program, this program displays individual messages from the archive files. After the search program has produced a list of messages that contain the search expression, this program retrieves each message the user selects. Any URLs in the original text message is linked up.


Miscellaneous

In addition to the above, there are various programs in use around the web pages to take care of things like imagemaps, virtual paths and other "behind the scenes" tasks.
