| Summary : Buckaroo Banzai Characters Infest Your Code!
|
Description :
The first time you run this program, the entire text of the program after
the \'use Acme::Buckaroo;\' is converted (character by character) into
characters from the movie \"Buckaroo Banzai Across the Eigth Dimension\" (and
some other phrases, too).
The program will work (or not!) exactly as it did before it was converted,
but the code will be a somewhat endearing tribute to a movie, instead of a
clean, complete, clearly commented set of lines of Perl code.
if you want to convert your program BACK into Perl, you must edit the
Acme::Buckaroo.pm module and turn on debugging (change the line, \"my
$debug_mode = 0;\" to the line, \"my $debug_mode = 1;\" and then run the
script again. As it executes, it will translate the program back. Capture
the output of this and you have your program back.
Acme::Buckaroo came about because the modules Acme::Buffy, Acme::Morse,
Acme::Pony, and Acme::Bleach were somewhat cryptically written. This author
believes that CODE SHOULD BE SIMPLE and CLEAR to read and understand. Code
that isn\'t clear is far less value. And, since these modules are for
learning or FUN anyway, I might as well start here.
As someone who has taught beginners to use Perl, I\'ve seen the problems
caused by using Perl idioms where typing a few more characters can make
maintenance possible and even quite easy.
