NAME

Acme::Be::Modern - enables your script to "be modern"

VERSION

Version 0.04

SYNOPSIS

This is a thin (and stupid) wrapper (actually a source filter) around Modern::Perl. It makes it possible to write 'be modern' instead of 'use Modern::Perl' - like this:

    use Acme::Be::Modern;

    be modern; # all lowercase is actually postmodern :-/
    ...

WARNING

The source filter (defined in the Acme::Be::Modern::filter sub is simply a naive search-and-replace. Don't use this in any real code.

IMPLEMENTATION

The implementation is a slight variation of the example in perlfilter. It's implemented using two functions:

import

This will be called after Acme::Be::Modern has been loaded. Simply calls filter_add() with a blessed reference. Now the filter is activated.

filter

The actual filter. Will receive source lines by calling filter_read(). Any occurrence (and I mean any) of 'be modern' will be replace with 'use Modern::Perl'.

BUGS

Yes! This is buggy. It's a source filter, and it's really stupid. Any text in your source matching 'be modern' will be replaced with 'use Modern::Perl'.
