NAME Acme::Takahashi::Method - turns your script into slides accordingly to the Takahashi Method SYNOPSIS use Acme::Takahashi::Method; # and the rest of your codes. DESCRIPTION The Takahashi Method is a strong, powerful and impressive method that makes your presentation something unforgettable. This module makes your script as impressive as those presentations. Seeing is believing. try cp eg/fact.pl perl -Ilib fact.pl 10 and see what I mean. IMPORT DIRECTIVES This module supports directives below. You can set as many directives as you like as follows; use Acme::Takahashi::Method columns => 132, rows => 50, noxec => 1; columns Default is 80. If you have larger terminals try use Acme::Takahashi::Method columns => 132; or something. rows Default is 24. If you have larger terminals try use Acme::Takahashi::Method columns => 50; or something. noslideshow By default, this module plays a slide show before it executes. If you only need to make slides, turn this on as use Acme::Takahashi::Method noslideshow => 1; noclobber By default, this module clobbers your original script. If you don't want this kind of tragedy, use Acme::Takahashi::Method noclobber => 1; You still get nice slides. noexec If you just want to make slides and don't want to run scripts, do use Acme::Takahashi::Method noexec => 1; EXPORT Are you kidding ? CAVEATS no branches Hey, you are making slides and slides are not suppose to branch! no loops Hey, don't make slides boring by repeating over and over. If you need to EXECUTE loops use labels and "goto". Here is an example. loop: $result *= $n--; goto loop unless $n <= 1; no braces that spans beyond lines Natually a slide that only contains "{" and "}" are boring as hell. If you need braces make it fit into one line. do { stuff } while(cond); # ok do { stuff; } while(cond); # perfectly NG SEE ALSO The Takahashi Method (Japanese) Acme AUTHOR Dan Kogai, COPYRIGHT AND LICENSE Copyright (C) 2005 by Dan Kogai This library is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify it under the same terms as Perl itself, either Perl version 5.8.7 or, at your option, any later version of Perl 5 you may have available.
