Are you looking to write?
- A puzzle generator.
You could consider using LWP to pull pregenerated puzzles off the web.
- A solver.
I never quite cottoned to the point (beyond the programming challenge) of solver programs? Doesn't having a program that solves the puzzle rather defeat the purpose of doing the puzzle?
- A solving assistant.
What features, beyond verifying that you haven't violated the basic rules of the puzzle, would you like to add to such a program?
If you are going to do the installation, is it much harder to do a Perl install at the same time? Of course, once one family member has a copy, they'll no doubt want to share it with others, which I guess is where a PAR wrapped version would be useful.
Examine what is said, not who speaks -- Silence betokens consent -- Love the truth but pardon error.
Lingua non convalesco, consenesco et abolesco. -- Rule 1 has a caveat! -- Who broke the cabal?
"Science is about questioning the status quo. Questioning authority".
In the absence of evidence, opinion is indistinguishable from prejudice.

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).

or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
