Though the classic
Monopoly board game
has been localized for the many communities in which it is played,
Parker Brothers are yet to produce a version localized for
the Perl community, to the best of my knowledge.
This meditation remedies that.
Given the limited number of squares available, the vast
number of Perl modules, and the many and various Perl
sub-cultures, many different Perl
board configurations are possible.
Here is my feeble attempt at composing a Perl Monopoly board.
How would you do it?

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
