Do you have a pony? (useless modules part I)
It's useful to have a pony. Everyone should have one. I tended to
install the shiny new Jifty webframework for it. Jifty brings in -
you've guessed it - a pony. When Jesse Vincent was asked what features
should be in Jifty he got the answer: a pony. A pony can be everything,
it's the ultimate wish of a small girl: "Daddy, can I have a pony?".
A pony is quite big and Jifty usually ends in a lot of dependencies,
there are other modules which can bring you a pony. The shiny Perl
module Acme::Magic::Pony brings a pony to your application. This module
checks for the existance of all the modules you want to use in a script,
if it finds the correct module installed it does nothing, if not - it
calls the CPAN shell to install it.
Daddy, can I have a pony?
