"I don't know what kind of game you are trying to create"

Wouldn't it make more sense to ask for details before responding with a wall of text?

"I would suggest that you look up XBASIC and PureBASIC and LibertyBASIC and see what you think."

OP asks 'I have written a short game with javascript and want to translate it into perlcode., how is recommending three variants of BASIC a valid response to that? You often respond to posts on a perl forum with suggestions of using another language.

"Perl is geared toward data processing. That means reading/writing files. Reading/writing stdin and stdout. whether it's binary data or plain text. Executing other programs, capturing their output. Then finding patterns, replacing patterns. Perl is superb when it has to work with various lists and finding things in a list. Perl is a really good tool for creating a program that generates a summary, an dynamic HTML page, a conversion program that reads one type of file and writes another type of file. Perl is good with printing readable plain text to the screen."

Your aversion to using a build of perl released within the last 20 years, and the modules/framworks available is really showing...
