Hi,

I really am curious of what you guys have in mind.

As for me (with my limited knowledge):
1. Lingua::Romana::Perligata (my first by far)
2. Acme::Bleach
3. Acme::Morse

Regards,
Edward

Update:

I wonder if there exist a 'name' for this class of modules.
Answer: "Jokes" (according to davido).

Addenda:

This link, explain why it is called Acme. Thanks for merlyn for the suggestion.

    most acme modules are fun, but my favorite is Acme-Apache-Werewolf
      How can you think keeping werewolves out of your directories is not really useful?

    Considering the caveats that the author includes, my curios-but-not-really-useful prize goes to Quantum::Entanglement and Quantum::Superpositions.

    I really like Quantum::Entanglement, and have had great fun with it in some spare time projects, but as far as I can understand, these modules are so complex that they should not really be trusted for production code. I have been told as much on other occasions, at least, and the Bugs section in the Quantum::Superpositions POD is not very assuring ...

    There are undoubtedly serious bugs lurking somewhere in code this funky :-) Bug reports and other feedback are most welcome.

    But any! And all!

    Mischief. Mayhem. Soap.

      There are times when Q::S is really useful.

    Everyone seems to forget Acme::Bushisms

    Maybe not fascinating, but certainly funny.

      Not I says the author of Acme::MJD and Acme::DeepThoughts :D

      MJD says "you can't just make shit up and expect the computer to know what you mean, retardo!"
      I run a Win32 PPM repository for perl 5.6.x and 5.8.x -- I take requests (README).

    I personally like Bone::Easy.
    Its idea of a pickup line is very insteresting...
    Not that I would *think* of using them. *inn*

    Acme::JavaTrace is a bit interesting, but much like Java, I'd rather not use it. ;-)

    hmmmm, I really cracked up after discovering Date::Pregnancy.

    Ofcourse you could just use Contraception;
