Mod_Survey
Mod_survey is an Apache mod_perl module which allows users to create their own Web questionnaires using an XML-based tag notation. It supports exporting of data into several file formats, including SPSS syntax, semi-colon delimited fields, and SQL script. It also provides limited support for descriptive statistics of the submitted data, and stylesheet customizations of layout.

Changes: Many bugs concerning uniqueness and multiple answers in MATRIX were fixed. The code has been updated and tested to run under IndigoPerl in Windows. IP-based uniqueness checking was implemented. It is now possible to customize error messages. There is now a valid DTD available. Flushing data will now also remove stale keys and lock files for unique answers. A bug with pipe signs as delimiter in exports was fixed. Perl snippets will no longer block time(), localtime(), and crypt().

Changes: Several minor bugs concerning MULTI and uniqueness in MATRIX were fixed. A new SUBMITERROR tag was added for allowing the customization of error messaged caused by, for example, MUSTANSWER.

Recent commentswe couldn't find mod_survey!
We were looking for an XML-based survey software on Freshmeat, but we couldn't find mod_survey, because it didn't match the search query ``survey xml'' or ``form xml''. Please consider updating the description so that people will find this nice software.
Re: Graphics?
With the introduction of the 3.2.x branch (first release submitted two minutes ago), this becomes possible. (Current large ammount of bugs excepted of course. :-) )
Graphics?
Some suggestions/feature requests:
It would be nice to be able to associate graphics with elements of the survey. For example, a choice where each element is a small graphic, instead (or in addition to) caption text. Useful for "What is your favorite color?", "Which animal do you associate with x?", "The car body style you prefer is?" type questions.
It would also be nice to be able to arrange the choice element horizontally, instead of vertically when using graphics in the elements (like a matrix with a single element/row).
Re: Finally
Yes me too :)
Finally
I'm happy to see that someone finally starts working on a serious project in this category.
