I posted it here because I coded it as a Perl learning exercise. Currently restructuring the whole thing to be more user oriented.
Thanks for your input!

But you ask for game critique, rather than programming advice. I appeciate that this was a Perl exercise, but regardless of which language it was created in the game experience would be the same.

Also:

You pick up some ancient armor, def + 100
A wolf appears
You attack the  wolf for 43
The wolf retaliates with 150
The wolf has 58 health, you have 205
You attack the  wolf for 45
The wolf retaliates with 150
The wolf has 13 health, you have 105
You attack the  wolf for 54
The wolf retaliates with 150
The wolf has -41 health, you have -45

I now have less health than the wolf, which dies, but am somehow still alive and leveling up.
