=head1 NAME

Acme::MJD - Mark Jason Dominus does perl


=head1 SYNOPSIS

    use Acme::MJD;
    print "Hello world";

=head1 DESCRIPTION

The first time you run a program under C<use Acme::MJD>, the module
removes all the unsightly printable characters from 
your source file. The code continues to work exactly as it did before, 
but now it contains a profound nugget of wisdom from the man himself,
Mark Jason Dominus (E<lt>http://perl.plover.com/E<gt>).

These nuggets were mined from a comp.lang.perl.misc 
post by MJD entitled "Good Advice and Maxims for Programmers"
(E<lt>http://groups.google.com/groups?selm=a6ukat%24a4b%241%40plover.comE<gt>).

=head1 BUGS

Please don't report bugs ;)

or send mail to E<lt>bug-Acme-MJD#rt.cpan.orgE<gt>
