15.05.2009: Acme::ReturnValues is back

http://returnvalues.useperl.at

Now with a nice and shiny (-ish) design and with lots of false-positive crap stashed away to "Bad return values". As you might have expected, the most common "cool" return value is 42.

A tiny bit more context can be found here.

Next: set up a cronjob (but before that, write out which dists have already been checked, so we only check new uploads)

oneiron: Other weird things to liven up a CPAN distro (orignal post)

Thanks for posting this. I wasn't aware of it before and I'm a bit annoyed I didn't think of this when creating Acme::EyeDrops. :) You see, at the time, I did try to think of various little ways to liven up a CPAN distro, but, for A::E, only came up with:

jjore: Weird file names (orignal post)

You could have weird file names like

'touch '$\2f'|'

or <> (if it's invisible to you, left chevron, right chevron aka diamond).

I apparently uh... "planned ahead" by ending most of my modules in something pithy, usually copied from somewhere that made me laugh.
