Hi all.

Has anyone here contemplated or worked with perl in a AI capacity? The school I attend is offering another perl class ( finally ) and as a class project, I would like to write a perl based AI program.

I know it can be accomplished:

You can interact with the perl version of 'Alice' here:

http://alice.virtualitas.net/talk

What do you all think? Would this be a cool project? If you have any suggestions as to how I should start designing one, I would be most appreciative. Since 'Alice' was built using AIML ( Artificial Intelligence Markup Language ) which is a subset of XML, I think completing an XML course ( prior to starting the project ) would be of benefit.

Thanks,
-Katie.
