    good_bye_cruel_world('.ext', $note)

=head1 When this would actually be handy.

Beleive it or not this is handy if you have a one time job to execute:

    # $script uses Acme::Scripticide
    system $script if -e $script;

or say to create static files from a database:

    # in flowers.pl (copy this to whatever names you want and execute:)
    use Acme::Scripticide qw(good_bye_cruel_world);
    good_bye_cruel_world('.html', get_html($0));

now flowers.pl does not exist and flowers.html is there

You could have a directory full of those types of scripts and glob() them in and execute each one, once done you have a directory of corresponding static html files...
