  thank you.

  >If you are asking about the interface to add new problems to the system, there is no such interface.

  I understand current SquarePerl.com features now.

  I feel if a problem is added from web form, and answers are also added from web form, it will become interactive communication by a teacher and students.

  Thank you for you suggestion! I'm sorry, but I'm not sure this is the text I'm looking for. For example the FooBar problem. There can be no errors in the output, but the system still does not accept solution because there are some differences between the PerlBanjo output and the expected output. I was trying to put it into short and and simple phase, but I failed. I have some ideas how to change interface to make it more clear, but I'm not sure when I wi…

  Oh, Thank you! I'm always very happy to hear that this small project is useful not only for me!

  I agree. Creating a file in some format on GitHub is not as user friendly as using a tool created exactly for that purpose. For this project I wanted that there is a way to change/add new problems from the very beginning. And as a cheap and easy solution I've used GitHub repo to allow edits.
  We'll see what will happen in the future. If there is a demand for simple problem editing tool it is quite possible that I will create…
