NAME

Acme::ChuckNorris - Perl prefers to code in Chuck Norris

VERSION

This document describes Acme::ChuckNorris version 0.3

SYNOPSIS

    use Acme::ChuckNorris;

DESCRIPTION

This module is intended to be a place to store all things combining Chuck Norris and Perl.

Current "things" are detailed in the next section. If you have any ideas let me know and you'll get Chuck Norris cred.

INTERFACE

All functions are exported unless you call it in non-import() context (i.e. require Acme::ChuckNorris; or use Acme::ChuckNorris ();).

round_house_kick_to_the_perl()

Turns your code into executable Chuck Norris perl.

   my $chuck_norris_shaped_code = round_house_kick_to_the_perl(\q{print "Goodbye\n";die "You are now dead.\n";}); 
   my $chuck_norris_shaped_code = round_house_kick_to_the_perl("/usr/bin/chuck_norris.pl");

Takes a scalar ref, file, of file handle that contains perl code.

Additional arguments could be any Acme::EyeDrops::sightly() option except SourceString, SourceFile, SourceHandle, or Shape (if you pass those they are ignored and you might get kicked in the face).

These Acme::EyeDrops::sightly() options are set by default and can be overridden:

  'Gap'            => 1,
  'InformHandler'  => sub { },
  'TrailingSpaces' => 1,
  'Regex'  => 1,
  'Binary' => 0,
  'TrapEvalDie' => 1,
  'TrapWarn'    => 1,

requires Acme::EyeDrops

round_house_kick_to_the_text()

Turns your text into executable Chuck Norris perl code that prints the original text.

   my $chuck_norris_shaped_code = round_house_kick_to_the_text(\'Just Another Perl Hacker'); 
   my $chuck_norris_shaped_code = round_house_kick_to_the_text(\'Chuck Norris can literally hack code with a machete');

Takes a scalar ref, file, of file handle that contains text.

Additional arguments could be any Acme::EyeDrops::sightly() option except SourceString, SourceFile, SourceHandle, Shape, Print, Regex, or Binary (if you pass those they are ignored and you might get kicked in the face).

These Acme::EyeDrops::sightly() options are set by default and can be overridden:

  'Gap'            => 1,
  'InformHandler'  => sub { },
  'TrailingSpaces' => 1,

requires Acme::EyeDrops

DIAGNOSTICS

Throws no warnings or errors of its own. But Chuck Norris can throw you wherever he likes.

CONFIGURATION AND ENVIRONMENT

DEPENDENCIES

Chuck Norris depends on nothing.

That said, individual functions might require() something. If so it will be documented w/ the function and in the Build.PL and Makefile.PL

INCOMPATIBILITIES

Chuck Norris is compatible with anything he chooses. The only driver he ever uses is a pile driver.

No bugs have been reported.

Please report any bugs or feature requests to bug-acme-chucknorris@rt.cpan.org, or through the web interface at http://rt.cpan.org.

TODO

Random Chuck Norris Joke function

Chuck Norris exception handler with only the ability to throw() (as-in "off a building")

SUBMIT YOUR IDEAS

There is a lot of potential for this module and ideas are welcome.

I initially thought to fiddle with kill() and die() for grins but, for now at least, the inner Chuck says no.

THANKS

To Chuck Norris for being so awesome

My pals Woody and Parker for their Chuck-spiration

Acme::EyeDrops for being so slick
