MakeHTML III is more or less an ASP (or JSP; whatever) engine for Perl, to generate static HTML pages for later publishing onto the web-server. It has similar format, to ASP (or JSP), except it is using Perl (as opposed to Visual Basic or Java). It can also be used to generate CGI scripts from plain HTML files (and scripts). Has command format similar to JSP, and has the ability to do bulk processing on entire directories. Works really fast! Documentation, usage instructions and a sample can be found inside the archive.

Possible uses of this software includes creating easy to maintain web-sites. Separating menus from the pages that include them allows you to modify menus without updating many pages. You can also access the database, make system calls, call other programs, process input files, etc., all inside your input scripts. In practice, this program has proven to be quite useful.

R8 (Release 8) adds on PHP compatibility. The script will now process PHP files just as it does HTML. Note, your PHP documents should be using <?php ... ?> tags instead of <% ... %>.

Link Analyzer is a program to search websites for broken links. It parses and reports on good and bad links, in a variety of formats. If you're running a website, simply try out this program on your pages, and see if you've missed some broken links. This program will detect local and non-local broken links, and provide a possible reason for the downed link (server down, file not found, host not found, etc.)

Prof.Phreak is a program to simulate a human conversation. In 1966 Joseph Weizenbaum at M.I.T. wrote ELIZA, a famous program that simulates a Rogerian psychoanalyst by taking excerpts from the subject's comments and posing questions back to the subject. While not a giant leap in AI programming, ELIZA (named after Eliza Dolittle in My Fair Lady) showed that some 'awareness' could be synthesized simply by using input pattern recognition, combined with predefined phrases. Some people claim that ELIZA was the first program to pass the Turing Test, fooling subjects into thinking it was an actual person.

Prof.Phreak is the next generation of that, having a huge database, calculation abilities, processing abilities, etc. You can check out the current proof of concept version here, or download it and run it on your own computer or website!

The program is currently implemented in Perl, uses a large database of conversation items, and has a CGI interface (courtesy of MakeHTML III). You can learn about the format of the database, programs abilities, and other such things at the main Prof.Phreak's page.
