Odd... after 30-ish posts in this thread, I still haven't seen anyone mention PerlMud from the brlliant Tom Boutell. I guess it's up to me! {grin}

Thanks! I remembered having heard of such a project, but couldn't recall where or exactly what. Thanks very much for filling me in. Duly downloaded, and I'll install it tonight.

Of course, as one of the intents of my project is to provide sequential play for multiple users at one terminal, PerlMUD won't *exactly* fit the bill, but by heck, it's going to be worth a look.

• Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
• 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.
