that still doesn't answer my question of why it has to be in perl. especially since the second link provided is not in perl (flash as you said). Is perl a requirement or something or they just saw the second link, want something that looks like it, and thought it was in perl?

me thinks post #10 meant he or the owner had it mixed up, it's in perl now and they want it in flash...

hmmm... could be... but by looking at the two links, i think they don't really care which language is used as long as it does the job AND LOOKS good.

I am not a Perl guy (I’ve never done it before) so can't speak to that. But why not use PHP instead of Flash? You can utilize CSS so if you ever have to change the layout, scheme of the site, no need to hire a new guy to re-do your Flash calculator. Plus, with the little knowledge that I have with PHP (that's all I use with my site); it has a lot of mathematic functions you can use. I used them when I wrote my dent estimate page.

I love CSS, it allows me to make change in one location and the entire site gets updated.

With PHP, the work is being done on the server end and less download comparing to flash. All sources are hidden as well AND allow search engine to index the page/content which you can't do with Flash.

flash just makes it look soo nice,

and you don't need CSS with PHP, just use:

include("page_header.php");

sounds very similar to CSS just a different method of doing it. I just have to include <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="style.css"> in my <head> tag and style.css has everything I need as well.

I am sure there are million ways to accomplish the same thing. Unfortunately with my limited web programing brain, I only know so much. CSS FTW!

actually, in the grand scheme of things, one would separate presentation (CSS) vs content(data) (php).

php being a template language, would still require CSS to make the presentation look pretty.

(and yes, i do code in php and still need CSS).

because php cant do graphically things like flash can.

they are 2 diff things. granted, you can code php to control flash objects.

but in the end, the client is always (okay...99%) right. and if the client wants flashy animations? flash they will get.

You don't have to really worry about handling db errors in flash though:
