Aleeious has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

I am interested in creating a very simple browser based text mmorpg. Nothing too fancy just a very simple one. I know php is what most people suggest for this type of project. However i am interested in knowing if this is possible in perl. Oh wise all knowning monks, please give me your advice.

Sincerely,

Aleeious

    Assuming this isn't trolling, it's possible in anything. You might consider Erlang as it handles multiplicity very well and allows you to do stuff like hot code swapping; since you're saying text MMORPG, it's probably a play project anyway, and you might as well get some interesting education out of it.

    Since PHP was originally written in Perl, anything written in PHP can be be (re)written in Perl.

      FWIW, the OP was trolling, mentioning PHP is bait :)
