I am pleased to announce the release of Acme::Time::Asparagus which ... um ... well ... I guess it's best to look at the README:
=============== Acme::Time::Asparagus We have a clock in our kitchen that has vegetables rather than numbers. You can see a picture of it at http://www.drbacchus.com/images/clock.jpg Pretty cool, huh? Sarah, our 4 year old, does not yet know how to tell time, and the other night I told her that she needed to be ready to go somewhere by asparagus. This got me thinking that it would be amusing to have a module for conversion from regular time to vegetable time. And, if I got particularly bored, the other direction. So what is this really good for? Um. It's in the Acme namespace. It's purely for my amusement. Note that there are also a wide variety of sushi clocks available - thanks to DrForr for this tip - which you can pick up at http://www.sushiclock.com/ Rich 'DrBacchus' Bowen 21 April, 2002, at about Tomato past Brussel Sprout. ========================= And, in the words of Foghorn Leghorn, It's a joke, I say, a joke, son. However, I've already gotten enough feedback that version 1.03 is on the way up to CPAN right now. Don't you people have anything better to do with your time? So far, it has been suggested that I make it so that you can pass in a listref of what food items correspond with which hours, (Look at the URLs above, and this will make a little more selse) so that it can be used for other clocks. Oy. Any other suggestions? -- And everyone said, "If we only live, We too will go to sea in a Sieve - To the hills of the Chankly Bore!" (The Jumblies, by Edward Lear)
