Acme::ReturnValue

• About
• Cool return values
• Cool dists
• Bad return values

As you might know, all Perl packages are required to end with a true statement, usually '1'. But there are more interesting true values than plain old boring '1'. This site is dedicated to presenting to you those creative, funny, stupid or erroneous return values found on CPAN.

This site is created using Acme::ReturnValue 1.003 by Thomas Klausner (domm) on irregular intervals (but setting up a cron-job is on the TODO (for 10 years..)...). There are some slides of talks available with a tiny bit more background.

At the moment, there are the following reports:

• Cool values - all cool values, sorted by number of occurence in the CPAN
• Cool dists - a list of distributions with not-boring return values. There still are some false positves hidden in here, which will hopefully be removed soon.
• Bad return values - a list of distributions that don't return a valid return statement. You can consider this distributions (or Acme::ReturnValue) buggy.
• By author - not implemented yet.
