in reply to Acme::Lingua::Pirate::Perl author needs encouragement to add Makefile.PL

I checked my calendar, but it's not showing any date near April 1. I'm ready to believe that you think that Acme::Lingua::Pirate::Perl is a vital module. It might be for your code, but believe me, the Perl public in general doesn't have a need for Acme::Lingua::Pirate::Perl.

Really, Randal, it's a joke module. With London roots. In the Acme name space. And you think it's appropriate to let others email him about how his module should look like? Djees. He's the author, not you. You send him a request, he told you no. Can't you just leave it at that? If you don't like the module: don't use it. You're smart enough, you can code a module with similar functionality *with* a Makefile.PL.

Noone suggested mass mailing you when you pulled that Acme::Time::Current stunt.

    Amen. I found the author's response to be quite humorous. It would have been even funnier if he insulted you in pirate speak!

    P.S. Abigail, I consistently love your commentary. Someone should archive your comments and put them in a book. I would buy it. Better yet, come to America and run for president. :)

      Or at very least, Governor of California. Why not, everyone else is. I'd think a smart monk would have a better chance than many of them. ;)

      One thing I love about PerlMonks: I consistently forget that people are so danged far away. I never really thought about where Abigail is: I just liked reading his code.
