Re^3: RFC for ManagementSpeak

Hmmm... Is it more of a joke (and therefore belonging in Acme::) or more of a language tool (and therefore belonging in Lingua::)? I think it's more of a joke.

I wouldn't call it a joke module. It's a toy, but not a joke module like those in the Acme namespace.	[reply]

That's an interesting idea. It's both a joke and a tool. The goal is to be able to create real, grammatically correct content that when read sounds like it's from a real document. A friend of mine used the original script to generate filler content for a proposal document, but he forgot to remove a couple of paragraphs of it when he finished writing, but none of the VPs who read the doc noticed. That's sort of the goal. I think these two mods are both jokes and tools: Lingua::31337 and Acme::Time::Baby. Honestly, I'm less concerned about the name as I am about the API and whether folks think the code is good enough or needs a lot more work. gryphon code('Perl') \|\| die;	[reply]
