NAME

Acme::Homer - Perl extension to put a little Homer in your code

SYNOPSIS

  use Acme::Homer;

  woohoo "Free beer alright!\n";  
  mmm "Mcribwhich\n" if $sandwhich eq 'Processed Pork';
  open my $beer, $marge or doh "could not open $beer: $!";
  ...

DESCRIPTION

Use homerism's instead of the normal boring stuff :)

Putting the "fun" in FUNCTIONS

woohoo()

Use this instead of print

The only difference is that to print to a filehandle you must do it like so:

    open my $list_fh, '<', 'list.txt' or die "Could not open list.txt: $!";
    woohoo $list_fh, "whatever";
    woohoo \*STDERR, "whatever";

If anyone knows of a way to make:

    woohoo STDERR "whatever";

work exactly like

    print STDERR "whatever";

Just let me know and I'll put your name down here as the "In your face Flanders" of the day!!

mmm()

Use this instead of Carp::carp()

why_you_little()

Use this instead of Carp::cluck()

doh()

Use this instead of Carp::croak()

no_beer_no_tv_make_homer_go_crazy()

Use this instead of Carp::confess()

EXPORT

All of the funtions described above are exported. Usually I don't do that but I figured: "hey, whats the point of getting uptight about your name space being polluted when you're using a Homer module"

TODO

If you think of any good Homerisms that would make good replacements for real funtion names lemme know!

In your face Flanders

This is really a "thanks for contributing" section but I figured why not give it a Homer type name:

Thanks to Jose Alves de Castro for catching a POD typo.
