"Lacuna Expanse" - многопользовательская игра, в какой-то степени
напоминающая Travian и отдаленно Eve online. Клиентская часть написана
на JavaScript и серверная - на Perl с большим количеством модулей
CPAN.

Сама игра еще не закончена, новые продвинутые возможности (типа
космических станций) будут скоро добавлены.

У игры открытое API. В нее играют уже многие программисты на Perl. Кто
хочет - присоединяйтесь, устроим гегемонию Perl smile

What about the clients?

The server communicates with the clients over JSON-RPC (using JSON::RPC::Dispatcher). And the clients are then written in whatever language is appropriate to the platform it is deployed on. So the web client is 100% pure Javascript. The iPhone client is 100% pure Objective-C. There are even desktop clients being written by members of the Lacuna community using Adobe Air. By using a small neutral protocol like JSON-RPC, you don't have to start religious wars about what language is best. You can use the tools that are best for the job. In my case, I thought Perl was the best tool for the server, and other languages were best for each platform. I'm certain a Perl client could be written using SDL Perl for native desktop apps, and I'd love to see that happen at some point. But our focus was not on the desktop, it was on web and mobile apps.
