Tarot

On a lark I wrote an automatic tarot spread generator. It consist of two pieces: a description file describing the layout of the spread, and a perl script "compiler" that takes the spread layout and generates another perl script which in turn when executed will generate an HTML document using tables for that spread. Perhaps looking at the code itself below will be a bit more illuminating:

spreadc.pl - the spread compiler script.
tarotbase.inc - required by the above script

celtic.spread - an example description file for the celtic cross
celtic.pl - the resulting perl script
celtic.html - an example run (note this is not dynamically generated)

pyramid.spread - the description file for a spread I created myself
pyramid.pl - the resulting perl script
pyramid.html - an example run (note this is not dynamically generated)

Here are the card images.
