Here's a basic example using a dispatch table-driven menu system:
#!/usr/bin/perl
use warnings;
use strict;
my %dt = (
'sit down' => sub { print "\nYou pull up a chair to sit you
+r lazy butt on\n\n"; },
'throw rock' => sub { print "\nYou just broke the damned wind
+ow!\n\n"; },
'have drinks' => sub { print "\nWow, you're gonna be hungover
+tomorrow!\n\n"; },
'suicide' => sub { print "\nGame over!\n\n"; exit; },
);
while ( 1 ){
print "\nPlease type an action from this list: ";
print join( ', ', keys %dt );
print "\nYour selection: ";
chomp( my $action = <STDIN> );
if (! defined $dt{ $action } ){
print "\nThat is an invalid action!\n\n";
next;
}
$dt{ $action }->();
}

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).
