Thank you all for your very helpful comments.
Status at the moment is: I have a simple game of life working (where each peer only handles one GOL square - obviously this makes network traffic massive!) but need to make the Organizer (which tells peers where they are and who their neighbours are) more reliable. The Organizer is clientserver based at the moment - it is easier to have one peer marshalling all the others into position before they all start talking to each other - but it's nicely subclassed so a truly self-organizing space will be quite easy to write. (Essentially, when a newbie peer arrives,each peer "points" it to the next peer, until the newbie gets to the frontier and finds a free position; all peers know their universe size and don't let anyone get beyond it.)

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).

or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
