You need to turn in two distinct implementations:

1. one that uses CGI.pm (documentation from lecture notes nine)
2. another one that doesn't use CGI.pm

We'll talk about this in class on Thu, Sep 23.

Also, please make sure you

• read,
• understand, and
• comply with

the Computer Science Department's Statement on Academic Integrity before turning in your assignment.

If you are an Informatics student the following also applies: Informatics academic honesty policy.

You and the computer play a game.

• When the game starts the score is 0 (zero) for the computer, and 0 (zero) for you.
• The computer chooses FIRST (one of paper, rock, scissors) and
• (for debugging purposes) it shows that choice to you.
• You then get to choose and submit your choice.
• The computer checks its choice against yours.
• (paper beats rock, rock beats scissors, but scissors beats paper)
• and determines who gets the point (you or it).
• Then the new score is updated, listed, and the computer makes a new choice,
• sends it to you and you get to provide a new choice as well and thus keep the game going.
