Look into the CPAN archives section.  There are, once you get
familiar with perl, a rather large number of modules appropriate
to PBeM of all types.

I remember discussing the dice-rolling module on one of the perl
usegroups, but I can't recall actually seeing it in CPAN yet.
You might have to do a DejaNews (or better yet,
AltaVista-Usenet...  DN has gotten downright ugly (okay, uglier)
lately) search to find the author.

And of course Alan posts his pbemtools package notes here
periodically, although that's (a) not a module and (b) aimed at
the RPG type.
