This is pretty much a straight port to idiomatic Perl.

ONE CHECK
Creative Computing Morristown, New Jersey
Solitaire checker puzzle by David Ahl
48 checkers are placed on the 2 outside spaces of a
standard 64-square checkerboard. The object is to
remove as many checkers as possible by diagonal jumps
(as in standard checkers). Use the numbered board to
indicate the square you wish to jump from and to. On
the board printed out on each turn '1' indicates a
checker and '0' an empty square. When you have no
possible jumps remaining, input a '0' in response to
question 'Jump from?'
EOD
while ( 1 ) { # Iterate indefinitely
board_num(); # Display the numerical board.
# Initialize the board, which is a two-dimensional array.
my @board = map { [ ( 1 ) x 8 ] } 0 .. 7; # Initialize to all 1.
for my $row ( 2 .. 5 ) { # Set the center section to 0
for my $col ( 2 .. 5 ) {
$board[$row][$col] = 0;
}
}
print <<'EOD';
And here is the opening position of the checkers.
EOD
board_pos( \@board );
my $moves = 0; # Number of moves made.
# A game proceeds while 'Jump from' is a true value. We make use of
# the fact that of the possible returns, only 0 evaluates false.
while ( my $jump_from = get_input(
'Jump from? ',
sub {
$ARG = lc; # The caller sees this.
return 1 if $ARG eq 'b';
return unless m/ \A [0-9]+ \z /smx;
$ARG += 0; # Numify, because string '00' is true.
return $ARG < 65;
},
"Please enter a number from 0 to 64, or 'b' to re-display the numeric board\n"
)

}
my $jump_to = get_input(
' to? ',

"Please enter a number from 1 to 64\n",

} else {
say 'Illegal move. Try again.';
}
}
my $checkers_left = sum( map { sum( @{ $board[$_] } ) } 0 .. 7 );
print <<"EOD";
You made $moves jumps and had $checkers_left pieces
remaining on the board.
EOD

O.K. Hope you had fun!!

=head1 TITLE
one check - Play the game 'One Check' from Basic Computer Games
=head1 SYNOPSIS
one check.pl
=head1 DETAILS
This Perl script is a port of onecheck.
This is a solitaire game played on a checker board, where the object is
to eliminate as many checkers as possible by making diagonal jumps and
removing the jumped checkers.
It is pretty much a straight port of the BASIC original.
