Hello perlmonks. I apologize for my lack of knowledge here. I am a hobby programmer, not a professional. I have been writing a MOO (multi user dungeon game) and I am having problems figuring out what I shall do with objects within the game. right now I have a single room with objects. The problem is not making it known to the player that the objects are there but simply how to interact with the objects. 

#!/usr/local/bin/perl

print"\n";
print "#---#--#-####-#----####-#####---#--#---####\n";
print "-#-##-#--####-#----#----#---#--#-##-#--####\n";
print "--#--#---####-####-####-#####-#---#--#-####\n";

print "\n";
print "|The Lounge|\n";
print "You are in a room littered with lines of text emitting from var
+ious computer connections from around the world. Above you hangs a dr
+oning chandelier which seems to dim and increase lighting every so of
+ten. The pleasant sound of a Jazz-Fusion band is heard here.\n";
print "You can see a wooden table here. You can SIT at the table. You 
+see a 1970's Jukebox here.\n";
print "You can go OUT.\n";

That's what I have... The objects describes as the Table and Jukebox are what I would like to be able to interact with. The question is what kind of syntax should I use?

I would like something like this sit table = print "You pull up a chair and sit at the table/";
