This is an idea i have for long but can't do it myself fo various reasons, but first the idea itself: On CPAN we have Checkers, Sudoku, Risk and many other. Most of these programs are written in Tk. Why not write an umbrella programm and wrap the the whole into a PAR, .deb or whatever and ship as a "Perl Games Pack". People love little games. sites like King.com make a living from that and many people would learn by the way that something like Perl exist or ist still very active. This idea sprang to me first when member of our community released Games that even don't yet on CPAN still after years. See the here.

My excuse not to do that is firstly that I'm 100% involved with Wx and don't know any Tk. And I have a project on my own that gladly eats every second which i'm giving willingly (see my Sig). But maybe the idea just springs into somebodys hands which would as eagerly see that alive as me.

Thanks for reading.
