PerlMUD's code is poor.

Hmm... I don't doubt it. I've never even given it the 5 minutes that you did. (++ for checking.) I just knew it existed. When I saw "MUD" and a request for a Perl example, it sprang to mind. The OP just seemed to want something that might give him some ideas for a basic design. I guess no one really wants to muck around in "muddy" code for ideas though. (Where are those groans? Let me hear 'em!)
