Just for kicks, here's my corrolary, where the computer guesses. It turned out a lot simpler. I'm trying harder to make it pretty, too.
#The computer will try to guess your number.
#Watch out! It knows if you're cheating.
use strict;
use warnings;
sub game{
my $min=0;
my $max=200;
my $guess;
my $response="h";
print "Think of a number between $min and $max, and I will guess wha
+t it is. Type h if your number is higher than my guess, and type l i
+f it is lower. Type = if I have guessed your number.\n";
while ($response ne "="){
if ((($max-$min)/2)<1){
print "You're not playing fair! I quit.\n";
return;
}
else{
$guess=int($max-(($max-$min)/2));
print "My guess is ",$guess,".\n";
$response = <STDIN>;
chomp($response);
if ($response eq "h"){
$min=$guess;
}
elsif ($response eq "l"){
$max=$guess;
}
}
}
}
my $again = 'y';
while ($again eq 'y'){
game();
print "That was fun--no really, it was. Play again? (y/n) \n";
$again = <STDIN>;
chomp ($again);
}
print "Goodbye!\n";

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).
