NAME

Poem - Don't let Perl stand in poets' way!

SYNOPSIS

  use Poem;
  Just Another Perl Poet
  no Poem; # get back to work

DESCRIPTION

This module practically make perl accept any poem in any language. Yes, I mean any language. It even accepts poems in Unicode!

Options

Without import options, it prints your poem.

  use Poem;
  There are more than one way to Do it. -- Larry Wall
  no Poem;

-review

But you can let perl review your poem via -review.

  use Poem qw/-review/;
  There are more than one way to Do it. -- Larry Wall
  no Poem;

-strict

With this option stricture will apply.

  # this works
  use Poem qw/-review/;
  $Perl = "Practical Extractaction and Report Language";
  no Poem;

  # but not under stricture
  use Poem qw/-review -strict/;
  $Perl = "Pathologically Eclectic Rubbish Lister";
  no Poem;

-deparse

If you don't grok your own poem, let perl deparse it.

  # Let perl deparse it
  use Poem qw/-review -deparse/;
  Just Another Perl Poet
  no Poem;

-act

If you are an activist rather an a poet, this optin is for you.

  # Who said talk is cheap?
  use Poem qw/-review -act/;
  Just Another Perl Poet
  no Poem;

-utf8

Even if your poem is written in non-ascii, Poem works. But if you want perl to review it, you probably need this option as well. See t/unicode.pl to find out what I mean.

-quiet

This is a no-op. Consider that a poet's way of saying =pod - =cut

  use Poem -quiet;
  Just Another Perl Poet
  no Poem;
