Contribution:  A simple blackjack program (text driven interface) that allows
                    one to play a game (with Hints when a strategy mistake is
                    made), simulate many games using Canfields expert strategy,
                    or practice certain situations (hard totals, soft total and split totals)
                    without having to go through many hands to do so.
 
                    Would love if someone would wrap a WYSIWIG interface to it.
 
                    Variable strategy is based on Canfields excellent,
                    "Blackjack your way to riches", now out of print unfortunately.
 
Modules: Not a module and depends on no modules.
 
Scripts, Ports, Documentation: N/A
 
Interests:  Don't know if anyone is interested, but I wrote it mainly because
                I wanted to practice certain situations, such as split and soft totals
                to get the strategy down without playing for money.
                I also wanted to simulate many hands to verify that you could
                actually beat the game when counting cards.
 
Also:         I'll gladly e-mail whomever at perl.org the code if interested in
                playing the game first.
