This one's not my own, but (sorry Schwern):

Ima::DBI: It's a subclass of DBI that gives it a few extra methods, and it's widely deployed now thanks to the popularity of Class::DBI.
Hello, I'm a DBI.

Totally agree. Should have been I'm::a::DBI :) Examine what is said, not who speaks.

Quite right, since "Ima" means "Mother" in Hebrew (well, okay, Aramaic, but let's not get carried away), and I don't think it's supposed to be the mother of all DBI modules... -- edan	[reply]

That'll work great until you use some syntax-highlighting editor that mistakes it for a quoted string :) You++ anyway, for finding an almost-good use of the single-quote package seperator. ---- send money to your kernel via the boot loader.. This and more wisdom available from Markov Hardburn.	[reply]

Don't forget about another great use of the apostrophe namespace separator. `------------ :Wq Not an editor command: Wq` [download]	[reply] [d/l]

This already happens whenever I use `, #, ", and ' in regexps. What editor are you using that it correctly parses perl? Both the cperl-perl and perl-perl major modes of emacs get this sort of stuff wrong all the time.	[reply]
