Initialization

Copy names-sample.txt to names.txt or create your own names.txt. Clobber your ~/votes.txt file.

Generating Ballots

./gen-ballot.pl 15 <names.txt >tokens.txt

Web Ballot CGI Script

Put names.txt and tokens.txt to the same directory as web-ballot.pl and make that directory available for CGI script execution. If this directory is accessible over web, don't forget to remove read permissions for all but the owner.

It should just work; you may need to adjust the votes.txt path currently hardcoded in web-ballot.pl, where the cast votes are recorded.

Counting Votes

This script will show just the final vote for each token:

perl -nle 'chomp; @b = split/,/; $a{$b[0]} = [@b]; END { for (values %a) { print join(",", @$_); } }' ~/votes.txt
