It might make more sense to people if they saw it like C-like script. A
scripting language for CircleMud (or any other mud it could be ported to).
Frankly I surprised that noone has ported embedded perl (tcl I've seen).
The only problem I've seen with in game interpreted procedures is that it's
VERY easy for lower lever admins to gain higher level access and bypass
legit security concern. Caveat Emptor.
