What would be the best way on an online quiz- using a php/mySQL framwork to make a person - once they ve started the quiz have to finish or get zero s? Zend? Ajax? Ruby? Perl? Just sessions / cookies? (something else?)

(I d like it if they close the browser that it would submit a call as well- and I m thinking that might have to be done with JavaScript)

Code:
open (NGC_Input_File-"ngc_update.xml");

Problem:
I m new in perl and i have a code above. but i wanted to add where it will pick up any file that starts with ngc (ngc*.xml). I tris experimenting by adding * and othre stuff but it wont work plase help??

Also is it possible to add a directory. Let say C:\perl\bin in the code? if so how?

can u please sign this petition to keep my fav tv show on the air. i will give the points to whoever signed the most signatures.

im 15 and i love my computer but i dint do gcse ict.
im not like the regular 15 year old that just goes on msn i already know html and im currently learning python and perl. also i know all about how computers work and how there put together(i built my own with no help- i just bought the parts and did it with no help or instructions.)i can identify whats wrong with a computer and get it right every time.

as well as all this im starting a business building and selling computers.

Please help me computers are the only thing im interested in and i really want to get a good qualification i them.
I learnt about all these things on my own without any help

I am beginning to learn perl.
