The Lighter Side of CPAN

There's an interesting new article on perl.com about some of the sillier modules on CPAN. I'm pointing this out even thought I have a couple of strong objections to the article:

There's no mention of Acme::Pony or Acme::Buffy
The author seems to think that Symbol::Approx::Sub is a joke module

Hmm, surely there must be a Zero::Wing module somewhere, but I couldn't find one :)	[reply]

But the author said a brief tour of some (but not all) of the more amusing extensions to Perl. and the Acme namespace was mentionned as a whole, so Acme::Pony and Acme::Buffy were implicitly mentionned. And maybe the author thought that Acme::POE::Knee was the same as Acme::Pony, I thought that myself.	[reply]
