Re^2: Idiomatic Perl?

        But why not ;-)

Because: most of the benefits learnt while learning a postmodern language such as Perl are lost when we try to implement modern languages like Python. Also, whitespace is starting to appear in my dreams.

stevieb is right, I wasn't being (entirely) serious. Modules in the Acme:: namespace are generally meant to be tongue-in-cheek, silly, and/or not for production use. I also gave that example to show off some of the power of Perl, in this case its ability to rewrite source code on the fly.	[reply]

I get it. Meta programming is cool. (btw that's why I came to perl in the first place)	[reply]

I do believe haukex may have been being facetious (although I could be wrong). Also, whitespace is starting to appear in my dreams haukex pointed out one Acme module, so here's another for your whitespace dreams: Acme::Bleach ;) By the way, I completely agree with your reply about coding in one language while trying to retain and use the particulars of another.
