The code itself serves perfectly well to describe in detail what it does and how it does it. Provided you are an orang-utan. Here's for example how to print a file in reverse order: Ook. Ook. Ook! Ook? Ook. Ook? Ook. Ook! Ook? Ook! Ook? Ook. Ook! Ook! Ook! Ook? Ook. Ook. Ook! Ook. Ook? Ook. Ook! Ook! Ook? Ook! The language specification can be found from the above URL. Despite the above, the interpreter does understand comments, the #-until-end-of-line kind. =head1 MODULE The Acme::Ook is the backend for the Ook interpreter. =head2 Methods =over 4 =item new The constructor. One optional argument, a string of Ook! that will be executed before any code supplied in Ook(). =item Ook The interpreter. Compiles, optimises and executes the Ook! code. Takes one or more arguments, either filenames or IO globs, or no arguments, in which case the stdin is read. =item compile The compiler. Takes the same arguments as Ook(). Normally not used directly but instead via Ook() that also executes the code. Returns the intermediate code. =item optimise The optimiser. Takes the intermediate code from the compiler and optimises it slightly. Currently it creates better code for runs of repeated increment or decrement. =back =head1 INTERPRETER The interpreter is the frontend to the Acme::Ook module. It is used as one would imagine: given one (or more) Ook! input files (or none, in which case stdin is expected to contain Ook!), the interpreter compiles and executes the Ook. =head2 Command Line Options There are three command line options: =over 4 =item -l Some example programs look better if an extra newline is shown after the execution. =item -O Use the optimiser on the intermediate code. =item -S If you want to see the intermediate code. =back =head2 BLACK MAGIC To re-ook the Ook you can use the C and C class methods. Not that you should. =head1 DIAGNOSTICS If your code doesn't look like proper Ook!, the interpreter will make its confusion known, similarly if an input file cannot be read. =head1 AUTHOR, COPYRIGHT, LICENSE Jarkko Hietaniemi Copyright (C) 2002,2006 Jarkko Hietaniemi This is free software; you may redistribute it and/or modify it under the same terms as Perl itself.
