# NAME

Acme::Flat - A Pure Perl reimplementation of B Internals

# VERSION

version 0.001002

# DESCRIPTION

This module is mostly a learning experiment to help me understand the mechanics
behind perl's `B` internals, and hopefully making more friendly documentation for `B`
components in the process.

At present, it only contains the implemented hierarchy present in `>5.18`, with
no more than stub classes to represent each `OP`, each with descriptions.

But it is hoped alone that having a description for each `OP` gives some improvement on its own.

# NAMING

The name is an approximation of

Acme::♭

Which was a cutesy way of saying `B` without saying `B`

Alas, `♭` is character `U+266d`, a _Symbol_, not an `AlphaNumeric` included in the
`XID_Start` or `XID_Continue` Regular Expression ranges.

I fully intend to capitalize on that name however in the event that:

- 1. MooseX::Types::Perl::DistName allows symbols in distribution names.
- 2. PAUSE itself is proven to accept them.
- 3. Perl itself supports such a character in identifiers

However, due to [`#3` being now required to appease PAUSE Indexing rules
](http://www.dagolden.com/index.php/2414/this-distribution-name-can-only-be-used-by-users-with-permission/), it seems unlikely `Acme::♭` will exist in the near future.
