What a strangely intruiging post... :-)
Ok. I'll bite... For this you need a ithreading perl (this is only tested on 5.8.0 RC1)
#!/opt/perl-latest/bin/perl -w
use threads;
use threads::shared;
use strict;
my @scores : shared = (10,10);
my @ts;
for my $num (0 .. 1) {
my $t =threads->new(sub { battle($num) } );
push @ts,$t;
}
$_->join() for @ts;
sub battle {
my $me = shift;
my $other = $me ? 0 : 1;
while ($scores[$me] > 0 && $scores[$other] > 0) {
$scores[$other]--;
print "Bot $me hit bot $other\n";
select(undef,undef,undef,rand 0.1);
threads->yield;
}
print "Bot $me ".($scores[$me] > 0 ? 'won' : 'lost')."\n";
}
Maybe not bare bones, but certainly bleading edge :-)

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).

Want more info? How to link
or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
