Task Management is important in any project. By automating task scheduling and assignment, projects can become more organized. This is what the Task Manager Program does. The Task Manager Program is a set of scripts written in Perl, that display output in a WWW Browser, like Netscape. The scripts generate HTML code on the fly, providing tables and buttons through which users can interact. HTML, which is the basis for the Graphical User Interface, is easy to modify, thereby making the Task Manager Program easy to customize to suit custom environments. Also, since Netscape has been ported to all platforms, the Task Manager will have the same look and feel on all of those platforms.
