For CPAN historians, this trick was also used by what I believe is the first CPAN joke module (D'oh), released several years before the Acme namespace was invented by TheDamian in 2001: D'oh by C.Nandor I've also seen it employed in Perl Poetry, obfu and even golf (to improve the tie breaker by replacing `sub SomeSub{...}` with `sub'SomeSub{...}`).
