This all sounds very positive! I am aware of OO principles, but (for a variety of reasons) I'm sticking to pure function Perl initially. Hopefully, if I do a sufficiently good job first time through, then an OO re-write will be either easy or unneeded. I presently lack a home 'net connection, so building a function library will require care, time and floppies. I wasn't overtly aware that modules could be used to generate data, although I guess I'd have known if I'd thought about it for half a nano. However, as I will almost certainly want to use a 'god mode' for at least some of the game-world development, I'd need to be certain that such a usage was open-ended, rather than binding in a fixed quantity of data at the export time of the module.
Thanks!

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).
