Perl, Javascript, and Traveller

For a couple years I've had a suite of Javascript pages for building stuff for Traveller, 5th edition. They use Traveller's new rules for stacking attributes onto a base item, resulting in myriads of armor, weapons, vehicles and smallcraft.

Very recently, I added a backend Perl component which will email the results to you.  So say you define a fast civilian grav truck which can reach orbit on your iPad.  Just enter your email address and it will email the results to you.

I wrote that bit because I wanted to use my scripts from my iPad, and didn't want to rely on cut-and-paste.

A link to the scripts is here: http://eaglestone.pocketempires.com/scripts/armormaker.html
