=head1 NAME
unbleach.pl - For I<really> unclean programs
=head1 SYNOPSIS
unbleach.pl [file]
=head1 DESCRIPTION
This script will replace all the unsighted unprintable
characters bleached out of your source file by a:
use Acme::Bleach;
directive with elegant (perhaps) ASCII perl code.
It also removes the use bleach line when it rewrites
the source code. The code continues to work exactly
as it did before, but now looks like normal!
=head1 DIAGNOSTICS
=item C<Can't get '%s'>
unbleach.pl could not read the source file.
=item C<'%s' is not bleached!>
unbleach.pl will only process files that have been
previously bleached and have the expected format.
=item C<Can't dry '%s'>
unbleach.pl could not open the source file to modify it.
