[TriLUG] Perl Project

[Charonda Woods]

Hello my name is Charonda Woods and I am a student
here at St. Edward's University in Austin.  I'm
working on a project here and I was wondering if you
could offer any suggestions or advice please.  I have
to parse text files with Perl and if I enter in a text
file lines such as:
^This is the footer of my code.
Computer Information Science major
Austin, Tx.^

How do I tell my program to out put any text that is
between carrots (^) and print it in HTML as a footer
of a web page?
I also have another question I'm trying to get one of
my programs to read 3 textfiles for example a lecture,
homework, and university dates files and output the
dates the user puts in, into a calendar similar to the
one on www.stedwards.edu/science/cassandra web page,
just click on calendar for one of his courses.  I'm
having trouble trying to match the dates the user puts
in to the boxes/table I create in HTML.  If you could
help me I would greatly appreciate it.  Have a good
day!
Thanks,
  Charonda
