Apparently you're not familiar with the roadrunner cartoons put out by Warner Brothers in the late 1960's to early 1970's. ACME is the company that the coyote, who continually unsuccessfully chases the roadrunner, purchases any number of bizarre, almost Rube Goldberesque inventions from - all of which fail. You might want to look up ACME on Wikipedia so you get a sense of what it's all about.

ACME modules are intended as fun, not for production use.

• Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
• Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:

  <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>

• Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
• Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
