Hosting an online programming contest?

[vpd]

hi,

I want some help in organising an online programming contest. Is there
a ready made solution available in PHP or even Perl which I could use?
The contest is supposed to be based on C programming and the solutions
submitted by the participants must be compiled, executed and the marks
shall be allocated automatically.
I want some urgent help as the contest is supposed to be organised in
just a couple of days. Any suggestions and solutions available on the
internet are welcome.

You weren't by any chance asked to do this on Friday? April fools day?

Anybody who allows their machines to be used to upload and execute code on
the internet will get exactly what they deserve. Unfortunately so might
some innocent bystanders.

As a side issue, judging by the way your question is presented and the point
above, you don't evidence much experience of IT, let alone programming. How
do you expect to be able to evaluate the quality of the submissions?
