Thanks for the info.  That's interesting.  I don't know how popular game 
programming in Perl will become.  ;)  Unfortunately, GLOP hasn't released 
any files yet.

With the type of stuff my son *wants* to write, he'll need to learn C or 
C++.  Since I'm not much of a C/C++ programmer myself, I haven't pushed in 
that direction.  I'm still curious to see if he will persevere with the 
simple stuff or if he will give up.  It seems to me that either you are 
born a computer geek or you're not.  He doesn't strike me as a computer 
geek so far.  I don't want to force him down a path he's not built to travel.
