PerlMUD is a MultiUser Dimension (MUD), a text-based environment that allows multiple users to converse, explore, and interact. PerlMUD is written in Perl 5 and is highly compatible with the well-known TinyMUD command set, which provides a friendly interface to your online environment. Version 3.0 is 100% backwards compatible with previous releases and the databases that they produced. Its two major new features are Topics offer some of the best features of IRC, while respecting the style and personality of MUD systems. Topics provide a way to hold open conversations on specific topics in a crowded MUD room while giving others the opportunity to opt out if they choose. Beginning in version 3.0, the vast majority of the code and configuration options are located in the file mudlib.pl. Essentially all of the MUD's behavior can be changed "on the fly" with this feature. Administrators in production environments can use this feature to activate new changes without restarting, after testing them in a separate test MUD environment.
