Hi! I'm trying something that might prove to be just a bad idea, but someone's got to do the unofficial testing!

I learned a new and fun card game overseas, and the Hash Array makes Perl a great language to keep track of all the movements and where everything is. And it will make networking the game easier later when I learn how to network :~)

I'd like to use the pre-written CARDS.DLL that comes with Windows (doh!) but don't have the foggiest idea how to do that. RTFMing and STFWing and CPANing hasn't helped. I guess I don't need answers (though I'd take them!). I need someone to point and say, "Start seeking there!"

Any Pointers?
Don't worry about people stealing your ideas. If your ideas are any good, you'll have to ram them down people's throats.
