Go is probably too complicated, and tic-tac-toe has some subtleties, but one thing that might be interesting and not too hard is to build a simple game, like nim, with *learning* capability. It's been a long while since I did this but I recall that it just involved making a tree structure to store possible moves, storing the results as a score, and then doing a tree traversal to see what gives you the highest or lowest "Score". Look up something called a "minmax" algorithm.
(although you'll find a bunch of people have done this particular one already)
The game of "mastermind" might also be a good balance of easy to program and interesting, although not so easy to do a tree for.
PS It's not perl but take a look at the Alice language from CMU. Makes it easy to do visuals to go with a game.

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).
