Simple game-tree implementation of a gomoku-like game

This module implements a simple game-tree system for the computer to play against the user in a game of Alak. You can just play the game for fun; or you can use this module as a starting point for understanding game trees and implementing smarter strategy – the module’s current logic is fairly simple-minded, particularly after reading my Perl Journal #18 article on trees, which discusses this module’s implementation of game trees as an example of general tree-shaped data structures.
