Meep! Meep! The Acme of Namespaces

Damian writes "As Leon mentioned in his latest diary entry, a number of usefulness-challenged but entertainment-advantaged modules have recently migrated en masse to the new Acme:: top-level namespace. Future surreal module ideas should be directed into those same badlands, where they may freely misuse their rocket-powered skates, giant rubber bands, and anvils, without having to justify either their name or their purpose(lessness)."


Nice Idea

Nice idea, but D'oh is staying just where it is.

It does need a rewrite though, to become either more or less useful.

Yeah, but D'oh just doesn't have the same effect on your program as, say, Acme::Smirch. And I agree with the author of that mod, we need a switch to run Smirch's output into shapes.

The target is single-word, one-level module names. D::oh clearly isn't in that category

Besides, as a Useful Module with a Real Purpose, we wouldn't sully Acme:: with it's presence!
