Acme::Everything is the ultimate run-time loader. With one 'use' line, you effectively load all 20,000,000 odd lines of code in CPAN. Run ANY method in ANY class, and Acme::Everything will download and/or load the module as needed at runtime, includi...

Corrects faulty code which displays the incorrect value of six multiplied by nine. Previous versions of Perl provided an estimate which was almost, but not quite, entirely incorrect. All other math operations remain unaffected....

All the latest software craze is about regression tests and XP programming -- Write a test, make sure it fails. Then write the functionality and make sure the test now passes, etc. Although these are good ideas, who really has time for this? Fixing f...

This module will make your program wait for Godot....

*Do what you can, with what you have, where you are.* --Teddy Roosevelt Testing modules need something to test. Acme::Teddy is all things to all bears. Switch into "package Acme::Teddy" in your test script, define whatever you like there. Then switch...

Acme::Intraweb allows you to use modules not yet installed on your system. Rather than throw annoying errors about "Could not locate package Foo::Bar in @INC", Acme::Intraweb will just go to your closest CPAN mirror and try to install the module for ...

This module provides an alternative method of addressing the symbol table for those who condider it akin to "touching Perl's genitals." special_place $root_namespace = special_place(); $module_namespace = special_place( $module_name ); Returns the na...

a tie interface that "confess"es. This is useful for creating out-of-bounds markers when modeling data structures, or setting a checkpoint when you want to know the next time a variable is accessed after some point. DESTROY is not mined, but everythi...

Acme::Test::42 exports two subroutines, "ok" and "not_ok", each of them expects two arguments: the answer and optional comment. The module is based on standard Test::Builder and follows the TAP standard but unlike Test::Simple and Test::More does not...

This module uses an AUTOLOAD function which assumes unrecognized methods are color names. Color names are case-insensitive, though style-wise one should probably use all capitals. It returns a hex string or a an array of RGB triplets depending on the...

For your SlowCGI pleasure, loads perl modules via FTP from remote sites. Please don thick rubber gloves and consider version and binary XS module compatibility before using. Requires Perl 5.8 or greater....

Class::Std's inside out objects are wonderful, but all the common serialisation packages assume that because they can see inside them, they can successfully serialise your object. Wrong! Because all they serialise is the ID, you may suffer data loss ...

This module allows you to call any function ever seen by your perl instance. As long as you used/required a module in the past you can now call its functions everywhere....

Many people have this experience: You sit before a gambling table. You keep placing the bet. You know the Goddess will finally smile at you. You just don't know when. You have only to wait. As the time goes by, the bets in your hand become fewer and ...

Alien::Base comprises base classes to help in the construction of "Alien::" modules. Modules in the Alien namespace are used to locate and install (if necessary) external libraries needed by other Perl modules. This module is a toy module to test the...

This package allows you access to your caller's lexical variables, without them knowing! Full read/write access. This is generally a pretty bad idea, hence the Acme namespace. You can steal scalars, arrays and hashes: steal $car, @treasures, %stash; ...
