I stumbled over one of my old nodes (A little introducation to piratical Perl me hearties) while looking for something else and thought "that looks fun", what does it do? So I tried to install Acme::Lingua::Pirate::Perl using cpan Acme::Lingua::Pirate::Perl. CPAN searched the seven seas and found nary a trace of it!. I asked metacpan about it, and it came up with the same empty vast vistas. A Google search for 'Acme::Lingua::Pirate::Perl' turns up https://metacpan.org/release/HEX/Acme-Lingua-Pirate-Perl-0.13/view/lib/Acme/Lingua/Pirate/Perl.pm, but otherwise this module seems to have disappeared into Davy Jones. Anyone know why?

BTW: using the link above I figured out what it does, but I'll leave that as a slightly interesting exercise for the interested.

Optimising for fewest key strokes only makes sense transmitting to Pluto or beyond
