The following module was proposed for inclusion in the Module List:
modid: Acme::Buckaroo
DSLIP: adpfp
description: Program becomes Buckaroo Banzai characters
userid: KEVINRICE (Kevin J. Rice)
chapterid: 2 (Perl_Core_Modules)
communities:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] (Fun With Perl Mailing List)
similar:
Acme::Buffy
rationale:
I liked the Acme::Buffy and Acme::Bleach, but they are kind of
advanced Perl. I liked the idea better of a highly readable version
of the program so that everyone knew what it was doing. Sometimes
beginners don't know how things work so well and a clear and
documented module would be a help.
That, and it's FUN !!!
This module, just like Acme::Bleach & Acme::Buffy, when included at
the top of a Perl script, turns the rest of the script into words
relating to the movie, "Buckaroo Banzai Across the Eighth Dimension"
(based on a book by Earl Mac Rauch, see the IMDB.com listing). This
includes character's names, actor's names, locations, etc. This is
done in a different way from the other modules, too (one character =
one movie character), not by converting to binary and using
capitalization as Buffy and Bleach do.
Yes, the script still works as it normally did before the script
source was changed. But, you get to see all the names of the people
in what could possibly be the greatest movie ever made! (okay, well,
Ice Pirates may have been a little better, I'm not sure...) grin :-)
