of Perl code.

if you want to convert your program BACK into Perl, you must edit the
Acme::Buckaroo.pm module and turn on debugging (change the
line, "my $debug_mode = 0;" to the line, "my $debug_mode = 1;" and then
run the script again.  As it executes, it will translate the program
back.  Capture the output of this and you have your program back.

Acme::Buckaroo came about because the modules Acme::Buffy, Acme::Morse,
Acme::Pony, and Acme::Bleach were somewhat cryptically written.  This
author believes that CODE SHOULD BE SIMPLE and CLEAR to read and
understand.  Code that isn't clear is far less value.  And, since these
modules are for learning or FUN anyway, I might as well start here.

As someone who has taught beginners to use Perl, I've seen the problems
caused by using Perl idioms where typing a few more characters can make
maintenance possible and even quite easy.
