Overview
perlmoo is a server for an online multiuser virtual world, similar in spirit to lambdamoo, implemented in perl.
perlmoo-wizpassword is a utility to set the password of the first wizard in a perlmoo database.
perlmoo-test starts up perlmoo, with you logged in as the wizard and lets you test the moo. Any changes you make will be lost when you exit.
