Scripting Games

Back on Monday the 18th of February I had a day off work sick. However, I was feeling better than I had over the weekend and was getting a bit bored. While reading some blogs I came across the Microsoft Scripting Games 2008 and decided to have a look at the Advanced Division. My language of choice was perl.
In all there were 10 scripts to be written and I knocked them all off in about 5 hours. After checking them the next day for bugs (I found and fixed one) I emailed them all off. The competition actually runs over two weeks but I couldn’t be bothered to submit them individually on the date they were due.
The last of my scripts have now been marked and I got 100/100
