      Acme::Phlegethoth - Improve your code's readability, if you're an
      Ancient One

      Acme::Phlegethoth improves the readability of your Perl programs to the
      Elder Gods.  This may accelerate a debugging session where you feel
      compelled to invoke them.  After all, if you're outsourcing development
      to Cthulhu, you'd better damn well be sure He can read your code.

      Acme::Phlegethoth translates your code to Aklo the first time your
      program uses it.  From that point on, your program continues to work as
      before, but it now looks something like this:

              use Acme'Phlegethoth;
              ia ia!  mnahN' NAflHriI R'LuHnyTh BUgoR SLl'HAog gOf'NN Hai ron
              gOf'nn Nnn'aIog FHTagN LlLL YHlIRgHOG GoF'Nn naCh'!  nNNvuLgtlAGlN
              thROD!  PhLeGetH StelL'BsNaoth sll'Ha!  aH NAfL'AIyAR H'EbUMna
              HliRGHog eHYeOG nnnSgn'WAhL fm'laTgh ah ILYaA h'zHRO iLYaa
              H'gnaIihNYtH EBumnA s'Uhnor [Text ends abruptly.]

      which loosely translates to:

              Hear me!

              Call upon the cowardly servants of the unbelievers!  Invite them to
              into our Church!  Watch over them, protect them!  These heretic
              children will enter the beyond to sleep beside our Master!

              Prepare us for the time when the Servants of your Father rise from
              the Pit to fulfil his pact.

              Our unshaken belief will protect our place on Earth!

              [Text ends abruptly.]

      "Can't summon '%s'"
          Acme::Phlegethoth could not access your code to translate it into
          Aklo.  The Ancient Ones will be most displeased.

      "Can't banish '%s'"
          Acme::Phlegethoth could not access your prayer to execute it.
          Never let this happen.  The Sleeping Ones do not like to be
          awakened without reason.

      This was loosely based on Leon Brocard's Acme::Buffy, which in turn was
      based on Damian Conway's Bleach module.  That was inspired by an idea
      by Philip Newton.  By now there's enough blame for everyone.

      But what really sparked my imagination was Meng Weng Wong's quote from
      a couple Ruby users:

              <flippo> ph'nglui mglw'nafh Cthulhu R'lyeh wgah'nagl fhtagn!
              <ibroadfo> flippo: don't paste perl in here

      They will of course be eaten last.
