Player.pl and Player.lua - can they coexist?

The code was your example sample player quest code:

sub EVENT_LEVEL_UP {
$client->Message(15, "You've leveled up, you are now $ulevel, perhaps you should go adventure elsewhere now.");
}

My question is, does only one of these files take presidence? I don't want to disturb the .lua file there because it looks like it adds adventure text I would like to see.

The reason for asking is my goal is to have a quest that scribes players spells when they level up. Is player.pl the place to put such a quest? Can someone suggest an alternative?

Thanks!

Yes, if there is a LUA equivalent to a particular type of quest file (in your case the global_player) then, it has precedence over PL (perl).

So you have two options. Remove the LUA version (or rename it to, say, global_player.lu$) or learn LUA and use it and/or Perl (though knowing what I stated above).
