I'd love to see what you come up with. Games and Perl is close to my heart.

Depends - if you expect the game to get any substantial amount of hits, you'd really want it in a MySQL database. Likewise, if you plan on getting zillions of users, managing them in a single file is going to get rather slow and cumbersome rather quickly. Likewise, one little bug is gonna wipe out your entire userbase.
