perlQuestionnaire allows you to import a survey. This is great if you have colleagues or friends using a separate perlQ installation and you wish to share your surveys with others. Not only can you import a survey by uploading the data file, but you can also simply plug in a URL from which to fetch the survey. This URL must contain the location of a survey swap data file. Once entered, simply click the "Retrieve Survey" button and the survey will be made available for you to edit, add to or simply display to your users!

Note: Perl requires you to have installed the LWP (libwww-perl) module in order to retrieve items via a URL.

Complex surveys can take a while to develop. If you ever have a survey you would like to make available to other perlQuestionnaire users, all you have to do is use the Survey Editor to select the desired survey and then click the button "Export". This will present you with a file that you can give to others, or email to support@chumpsoft.com for us to share on our web site. Over time, we hope to build up a list of surveys which you can utilize on your web site.
