The list that follows gives some web utilitiy programs I wrote for my own purposes. They are available in source form. To use them will need tools such as Perl.

Concatenate HTML Files

Summary: This script combines a number of HTML files into one.

Needs: Perl

Usage: See README file

Source: Obtain htmlcat-1.0.zip

Correct HTML Files

Summary: This script corrects major structural errors in HTML files.

Needs: Perl

Usage: See README file

Source: Obtain htmlfix-1.0.zip

Create Multiple Choice Tests in HTML

Summary: This script is intended for teachers to create multiple-choice, self-test web pages.

Needs: CGI.pm (get this from some CPAN Perl Archive), Perl, optionally webfoot

Usage: See README file

Source: Obtain self2html-1.0.zip

Produce Web Page Footer

Summary: This script prints a customisable web page footer and also updates a count of page accesses. This page is an example of what the script does. A fair amount of customisation will be necessary, though this should be reasonably obvious for a non-Perl programmer. The script makes uses of the #exec feature of a web server like Apache to create HTML when a page is retrieved and to update a log of page accesses.

Needs: Perl

Usage: See README file

Source: Obtain webfoot-1.0.zip
