Thank you :)

Actually, I did have a module which combined the card draw, dice roller
and a chip pot, but I think I must have lost it when I switched
computers around.  In any event, it's not too hard to implement.

The code is free, you'd have a hard time stealing it :)

Not a problem.

Not recently, but both the card module and the roller function would
plug neatly into anything written for such a purpose (I tend to work
entirely with web stuff...).  If it would help I'll send you the CGI for
the draw program off-list.

Thanks, you too.  The Deadland's dice mechanics are quite fun to program
effectively, you did a good job with it.  If you're interested in
continuing with Deadland's programming you might want to check out
http://www.thebrogue.com/dlcgp and help out with writing an online
character generator (which, currently is leaning more toward PHP than
Perl, but it's good to broaden your programming horizons :) )
