ive got a mostly done perl script that acts as a wrapper around freeciv
servers, how it works...

  1) it sets up a preforked ssl server
  2) that you can log into
  3) and then start a freeciv game
  4) this server connection is held by Expect.pm
  5) which can be programmed to respond to certain events
  6) multiple freeciv games can be run simultaneously
  7) you can log out & the games still run
  8) later on you can log back in and be back into your sessions.

shall i post the code ?
