You might find SIM_AGENT interesting (Score:1)
You might find simagent [bham.ac.uk] of interest. Not in Perl, but all the source is available. You'd have to have a box to get Poplog [poplog.org] up and running on too.
(disclaimer - many years ago I used to be a Poplog developer, and Aaron Sloman the simagent developer was once my boss :-)

Wow. Lots of stuff there and clearly better than what I am doing (duh!). I see right off the bat that the neural network is far more sophisticated than mine. I have a simple two-layer network that learns by sometimes mutating during reproduction. If the agent survives, the network is "smarter."
Unfortunately my system runs rather slowly since it's pure Perl, so there are limits to what I can extend. Still, once I get things running smoothly, I'll see what I can do for performance tuning without having to drop to C and then see what ideas I can crib from simagent.
Hmm ... maybe it's time for me to start eyeing Parrot for some of this.

Thursday? You're giving a talk on Wednesday. Is there something I'm missing?
