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 http://www.rubycolor.org/takahashi/ 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
