in reply to Module Organization

You should organize it in a way that makes sense to you. I think an OOP primer might be a good place to start.

I would use the Roleplay module to define how the objects in your MUD interact, but that is entirely up to you.

    What do you mean using it to define how they interact? I'm still really new to Perl (as you can tell, haha) - do you have any really good examples I can take a look at?

      What I mean by interact are the game mechanics, Things like keeping track of where the players and items are, what quests are currently active. I am not really much of a role player, but I am imagining it acting as the Dungeon Master.

      I am thinking of this project as a way to learn OOPerl so I don't see the large numbers of files as big a problem as they would be if it were something that was going to end up with a public release. I think it is probably easier to start with something concrete like Roleplay::Orc instead of Roleplay::NPC. Once you get more familiar with perl you will likely want to rewrite it anyway.

      Perhaps look at some of the nodes here: Object Oriented Programming
