Version 2.1.2 (Released 13/07/2002)

Description:

Vote.pl is a web voting script, which is highly adjustable to your likings. The look of polling interfaces as well as of result pages can be modified by use of html code, to integrate the poll smoothly into the look and feel of your personal site. Vote.pl can handle an unlimited number of polls on different pages. IP number tracking and cookies prevent multiple votes from a single user.

Main Features:

Highly configurable look
View results graphically and/or numerically
User tracking by IP no. and/or cookie prevents multiple votes.
Provides a maximum number of 23 questions per poll and 999 choices per question
Handles several votings on different pages

This version of Vote.pl is intended to work with Perl 5. When properly installed Vote.pl should run on UNIX and Windows NT/2000. However the author has only tested it on a UNIX system.

Demo:

Check out two demos of Vote.pl: Demo 1 (User tracking disabled) Demo 2 (Cookies enable, IP tracking disabled)

Download:

Download this script: vote.zip | vote.tgz | vote2.1.2/

Setup Instructions:

Follow the instructions in the readme.txt, which describe how to set up two sample polls. Afterwards you should be able to adjust those examples to your own polls or questionnaires.
If you are unexperienced with CGI, HTML and Perl, I recommend you to read Steve Imhof's guide as well. He explains step by step how to install and run the script. I wish to thank him for this contribution.

Support:

Since Vote.pl is freeware, I do not provide much user support. I would like to be able to help everybody get this script running, but I simply havn't got enough time to do so. Please try to find out the solution to your problem yourself. But if you can't find the answer after reading both the readme.txt and the guide you can contact me via email. I am also grateful for any bug reports.
