instancing regular zones

I just wrote http://www.eqemulator.net/wiki/wikka...reSystemSample into the wiki and it should help answer your questions.
Yes @ instance any zone.
@ Your perl question: http://www.eqemulator.net/wiki/wikka...=QuestTutorial

quest::CreateInstance("zonename", version, expiration time) - Creates an instance in the given zone using specified version and expiration time. Note: This command will export the Instance ID that it creates!
quest::GetInstanceID("zonename",version) Returns the instanceid of the given zone/verison.
quest:estroyInstance(instanceid) Destroys the given instance
quest::AssignToInstance(instanceid) Assigns a single player to an instance
quest::AssignGroupToInstance(instanceid) Assigns a group to an instance
quest::AssignRaidToInstance(instanceid) Assigns a raid to an instance
quest::MovePCInstance(zoneid, instanceid, x, y, z) - Moves a player to an instance
quest::FlagInstanceByGroupLeader() - Assigns the group leader's instance to a player
quest::FlagInstanceByRaidLeader() - Assigns the raid leader's instance to a player

Namely, quest::MovePCInstance(zoneid, instanceid, x, y, z) - Moves a player to an instance
