NAME

       Acme::EyeDrops - Visual Programming in Perl

SYNOPSIS

           use Acme::EyeDrops qw(sightly);

           print sightly( { Shape       => 'camel',
                            SourceFile  => 'eyesore.pl' } );

DESCRIPTION

       "Acme::EyeDrops" converts a Perl program into an equivalent one, but without all those
       unsightly letters and numbers.

       In a Visual Programming breakthrough, EyeDrops allows you to pour the generated program
       into various shapes, such as UML diagrams, enabling you to instantly understand how the
       program works just by glancing at its new and improved visual representation.

       Unlike "Acme::Bleach" and "Acme::Buffy", the generated program runs without requiring that
       "Acme::EyeDrops" be installed on the target system.

EXAMPLES

   Getting Started
       Suppose you have a program, helloworld.pl, consisting of:

           print "hello world\n";

       To convert this little program into an equivalent camel-shaped one, create cvt.pl as
       follows:

           # cvt.pl. Convert helloworld.pl into a camel shape.
           use Acme::EyeDrops qw(sightly);
           print sightly( { Shape       => 'camel',
                            SourceFile  => 'helloworld.pl',
                            Regex       => 1 } );

       Then run it like this:

           perl cvt.pl >new.pl

       After inspecting the newly created program, new.pl, to verify that it does indeed resemble
       a camel, run it:

          perl new.pl

       to confirm it behaves identically to the original helloworld.pl.

       Instead of using the API, as shown above, you may find it more convenient to use the
       sightly.pl command in the demo directory:

           sightly.pl -h           (for help)
           sightly.pl -s camel -f helloworld.pl -r 1 >new.pl
           cat new.pl              (should look like a camel)
           perl new.pl             (should print "hello world" as before)

       Notice that the shape 'camel' is just the file camel.eye in the EyeDrops sub-directory
       underneath where EyeDrops.pm is located, so you are free to add your own new shapes as
       required.

       For the meaning of Regex => 1 above, see the Just another Perl hacker section below.

   Making Your Programs Easier to Understand
       If your boss demands a UML diagram describing your program, you can give him this:

           print sightly( { Shape       => 'uml',
                            SourceFile  => 'helloworld.pl',
                            Regex       => 1 } );

       If it is a Windows program, you can indicate that too, by combining shapes:

           print sightly( { Shape       => 'uml,window',
                            Gap         => 1,
                            SourceFile  => 'helloworld.pl',
                            Regex       => 1 } );

       producing this improved visual representation:

       This is a Visual Programming breakthrough in that you can tell it is a Windows program and
       see its UML structure too, just by glancing at the code.

       For Linux only, you can apply its /usr/games/banner command to the program's source text:

           print sightly( { Shape       => 'srcbanner',
                            Width       => 70,
                            SourceFile  => 'helloworld.pl',
                            Regex       => 1 } );

       The generated program is easier to understand than the original because its characters are
       bigger and easier to read.

   An Abbreviated History of Perl 6
       Here is a summary of the Perl 6 development effort so far:

           print sightly( { Shape        => 'jon,larry,damian,simon,parrot,' .
                                            'buffy3,autrijus',
                            Gap          => 3,
                            Regex        => 1,
                            Print        => 1,
                            Indent       => 1,
                            SourceString => <<'END_HAIKU' } );

   Just another Perl hacker
       Let's get more ambitious and create a big self-printing JAPH.

           my $src = <<'FLAMING_OSTRICHES';
           open 0;
           $/ = undef;
           $x = <0>;
           close 0;
           $x =~ tr/!-~/#/;
           print $x;
           FLAMING_OSTRICHES
           print sightly( { Shape         => 'japh',
                            SourceString  => $src,
                            Regex         => 1 } );

       This works. However, if we change:

           $x =~ tr/!-~/#/;

       to:

           $x =~ s/\S/#/g;

       the generated program malfunctions in strange ways because it is running inside a regular
       expression and Perl's regex engine is not reentrant. In this case, we must resort to:

           print sightly( { Shape        => 'japh',
                            SourceString => $src,
                            Regex        => 0 } );

       which runs the generated sightly program via "eval" instead.  If you want to use Regex =>
       1 (to eliminate all alphanumerics), ensure the program to be converted is careful with its
       use of regular expressions and $_.

       To produce a JAPH that resembles the original Just another Perl hacker, aka Randal L
       Schwartz, try this:

           print sightly( { Shape        => 'merlyn',
                            SourceString => 'Just another Perl hacker,',
                            Regex        => 1,
                            Print        => 1 } );

       producing:

                              ''=~('('.'?'.'{'.('['
                           ^'+').('['^')').('`'|')').(

   Buffy Looking in the Mirror
       Because the sightly encoding is not very compact, you sometimes find yourself playing a
       surreal form of Perl Golf, where the winner is the one with the smallest f.tmp in:

           sightly.pl -r 1 -f program_to_be_converted >f.tmp

       Apart from reducing the (key-)stroke count, you must avoid regexes and strive to replace
       alphanumeric characters with sightly ones, which do not require sightly encoding.

       To illustrate, consider the intriguing problem of creating Buffy looking in the mirror.
       Let's start with k.pl:

           open$[;chop,($==y===c)>$-&&($-=$=)for@:=<0>;
           print$"x-(y---c-$-).reverse.$/for@:

       Notice that EyeDrops-generated programs, by default, contain no trailing spaces, which
       complicates the above program.

       Buffy looking in the mirror can now be created with:

           sightly.pl -r 1 -f k.pl -s buffy2 >b.pl
           cat b.pl        (should show Buffy's face)
           perl b.pl       (should show Buffy looking in the mirror)

       Drat. This requires two buffy2 shapes. What to do?  Well, you could use the
       "TrailingSpaces" attribute ("-T" switch to sightly.pl) to append the required number of
       trailing spaces to each line, allowing you to write a briefer kk.pl:

           open$%;chop,print+reverse.$/for<0>

       and finally produce Buffy looking in the mirror with:

           sightly.pl -T -r 1 -f kk.pl -s buffy2 >bb.pl

       Alternatively, the "Compact" attribute ("-m" switch to sightly.pl) could be used to
       produce a solution free of any trailing spaces:

           sightly.pl -m -r 1 -f k.pl -s buffy2 >buffy.pl
           cat buffy.pl     (should show Buffy's face)
           perl buffy.pl    (should show Buffy looking in the mirror)

       producing buffy.pl:

                           ''=~('(?{'.(
                        '`'|'%').('['^'-'

       This is perhaps a cleaner solution, though some people find the plain sightly encoding
       more pleasing to the eye.

       Showing the face upside down, rather than reflected, is more easily solved with:

           open$%;print+reverse<0>

       and easier still for a self-printing shape:

           open$%;print<0>                    # self printing
           open$%;print+map{y;!-~;#;;$_}<0>   # replace sightly with '#'

   A Somersaulting Camel
       Let's extend the Buffy example of the previous section to produce a camel-shaped program
       capable of somersaulting across the screen when run.

       We start with a generator program, gencamel.pl:

           print sightly( { Regex          => 1,
                            Compact        => 1,
                            RemoveNewlines => 1,
                            Indent         => 1,
                            BorderGapRight => 1,
                            Shape          => 'camel',
                            SourceString   => <<'END_SRC_STR' } );
           $~=pop||'';open$%;
           y,!-~,#,,s,(.).,$+,gs,$~&&($_=reverse)for@~=grep$|--,('')x18,<0>;
           @;=map~~reverse,reverse@~;
           map{system$^O=~Win?CLS:'clear';
           ($-=$_%3)||(--$|,map$_=reverse,@~,@;);
           print$"x($=/3*abs$|*2-$-),$_,$/for$-&1?@;:@~;
           sleep!$%}$%..11
           END_SRC_STR

       Note the use of the Compact and RemoveNewlines attributes, necessary here to squeeze the
       above program into a single camel shape.

       Running this program:

           perl gencamel.pl >camel.pl

       produces camel.pl:

                                              ''=~('(?{'.(

       You can run camel.pl like this:

           perl camel.pl           normal forward somersaulting camel
           perl camel.pl b         camel somersaults backwards
           perl camel.pl please do a backward somersault
                                   same thing

       You are free to add a leading "#!/usr/bin/perl -w" line to camel.pl, so long as you also
       add a blank line after this header line.

   Twelve Thousand and Thirty Two Camels
       In a similar way to the somersaulting camel described above, we create a camel-shaped
       program capable of emitting twelve thousand and thirty two different camels when run.

       As usual, we start with a generator program, gencamel.pl:

           print sightly( { Regex          => 1,
                            Compact        => 1,
                            RemoveNewlines => 1,
                            BorderGap      => 1,
                            Shape          => 'camel',
                            SourceString   => <<'END_SRC_STR' } );
           $~=uc shift;$:=pop||'#';open$%;chop(@~=<0>);$~=~R&&
           (@~=map{$-=$_+$_;join'',map/.{$-}(.)/,@~}$%..33);
           $|--&$~=~H&&next,$~!~Q&&eval"y, ,\Q$:\E,c",$~=~I&&
           eval"y, \Q$:\E,\Q$:\E ,",$~=~M&&($_=reverse),
           print$~=~V?/(.).?/g:$_,$/for$~=~U?reverse@~:@~
           END_SRC_STR

       Running this program:

           perl gencamel.pl >camel.pl

       produces camel.pl, which you can run like this:

           perl camel.pl           normal camel
           perl camel.pl q         quine (program prints itself)
           perl camel.pl m         mirror (camel looking in the mirror)
           perl camel.pl i         inverted camel
           perl camel.pl u         upside-down camel
           perl camel.pl r         rotated camel
           perl camel.pl h         horizontally-squashed camel
           perl camel.pl v         vertically-squashed camel

       And can further combine the above options, each combination producing a different camel,
       for example:

           perl camel.pl uri

       produces a large, bearded camel with a pony-tail, glasses, and a tie-dyed T-shirt. :)

       camel.pl also accepts an optional second argument, specifying the character to fill the
       camel with (default "#").  For example:

           perl camel.pl hv        small camel filled with #
           perl camel.pl hv "$"    small camel filled with $

       Why 12,032 camels? Combining the main options q, m, i, u, r, h, v can produce 128
       different camels. And there are 94 printable characters available for the second argument,
       making a total of 128 * 94 = 12,032 camels.

   Naked Arm Wrestling

       remember with:

   99 Bottles of Beer
       The web site http://www.99-bottles-of-beer.net/ features programs to display the lyrics of
       the famous 99 bottles of beer song in over 700 different computer languages.

       Over the years, many different Perl solutions have been proposed.  On December 25 1998,
       for instance, Damian Conway suggested using his Lingua::EN::Inflect module:

           use Lingua::EN::Inflect 'inflect';
           $n=shift||99;
           print inflect<<BURP while $n;
           NO(bottle of beer,$n) on the wall, NO(bottle of beer,$n)!
           Take one down, pass it around,
           NO(bottle of beer,@{[--$n]}) on the wall.
           BURP

       During May 2003, the two leading Perl golfers of that era, Ton Hospel and Mtv Europe,
       produced the shortest known Perl solution:

           sub
           b{[@b=(abs||No,bottle."s"x!!++$_,of,beer),on,the,wall]}print
           "@{+b},\n@b,\nTake one down, pass it around,\n@{+b}.\n"
           for-pop||-99..-1

       Some years later I noticed that this program can be further shortened by changing "s" to
       's' and embedding the "sub" inside the first "@{}" block like so:

           @{sub b{[@b=(abs||No,bottle.'s'x!!++$_,of,beer),on,the,wall]}b}

       This saves a stroke because the first "+b" in the original is replaced by a bald "b".

       Elegant though this solution is, they may have felt a little gobsmacked when the world's
       leading HQ9+ golfer, Casey West, uncorked a one stroke solution (9) in that surreal
       programming language.

       To produce a solution shaped like a row of beer bottles, run this:

           use Acme::EyeDrops qw(sightly get_eye_string hjoin_shapes);
           my $ninety_nine = <<'BURP';
           $==pop||99;--$=;sub
           _{($;=($=||No)." bottle"."s"x!!--$=." of beer")." on the wall"}
           print+_,", $;!
           Take one down, pass it around,
           ",_,"!

           "while++$=
           BURP
           chop($ninety_nine); $ninety_nine =~ s/\nprint/print/;
           print sightly( { Regex         => 1,
                            Compact       => 1,
                            ShapeString   => hjoin_shapes(2,
                                             (get_eye_string('bottle2'))x6),
                            SourceString  => $ninety_nine } );

       producing:

           ''=~(        '(?{'        .('`'        |'%')        .('['        ^'-')

       A larger single beer bottle shape can be produced with:

           print sightly( { Regex         => 1,
                            Compact       => 1,
                            Shape         => 'bottle',
                            SourceString  => $ninety_nine } );

       while the canonical solution, shaped like 99 bottles of beer, can be generated with:

           print sightly( { Regex         => 1,
                            ShapeString   => join("\n", (hjoin_shapes(3,
                                             (get_eye_string('bottle2'))x3))x33),
                            SourceString  => $ninety_nine } );

   Sierpinski Triangles
       A simple and concise Sierpinski triangle generator, siertri.pl, is:

           #!perl -l
           $x=2**pop;print$"x--$x,map$x&$_?$"x2:"/\\",0..$y++while$x

       which was posted by Mtv Europe to golf@perl.org on 14-sep-2002 as a one stroke improvement
       on Adam Antonik's original program.  Running:

           perl siertri.pl 4

       displays a Sierpinski triangle with 2**4 lines.

       Proclaiming Mtv's program as the shortest (in Acme::EyeDrops 1.13) only served to provoke
       Adam Antonik and Eugene van der Pijll into shortening it by exploiting a hard $^F, as
       shown in some of the examples below:

           -l print$"x--$x,map$x&$_?$"x2:"/\\",0..$_-1for 1..($x=2**pop)
           -l $x=2**pop;print$"x--$x,map$x&$_?$"x2:"/\\",0..$y++while$x
           -l $^F**=pop;print$"x--$^F,map$^F&$_?$"x2:"/\\",0..$y++while$^F
           -lX061 print$"x--$/,map$/&$_?$"x2:"/\\",0..$y++while$/<<=pop
           -l print$"x--$^F,map$^F&$_?$"x2:"/\\",0..$y++while$^F*=2**pop
           -l $_=$"x2**pop;$_="$'/\\",print,s/(?<=\\)../$&^KI^D5/egwhile/^ /

       An interesting obfuscated Sierpinski triangle generator is:

           #!/usr/bin/perl -l
           s--@{[(gE^Ge)=~/[^g^e]/g]}[g^e]x((!!+~~g^e^g^e)<<pop).!gE-ge,
           s-[^ge^ge]-s,,,,s,@{[(g^';').(e^'?')]},(G^'/').(E^'|')^Ge,ge,
           print,s,(?<=/[^g^e])[^g^e][^g^e],$&^(G^'/').(E^'|')^gE,ge-ge

       As an alternative obfu, you can produce a Sierpinski triangle-shaped Sierpinski triangle
       generator based on Mtv's program like this:

           print sightly( { Regex           => 1,
                            Compact         => 1,
                            RemoveNewlines  => 1,
                            Indent          => 1,
                            BorderGap       => 1,
                            BorderWidth     => 2,
                            # For 'siertri' built-in shape, Width=>5 means:
                            #   height is 2**5 lines
                            #   width  is 2 * 2**5 characters
                            Width           => 5,
                            Shape           => 'siertri',
                            SourceString    => <<'END_SRC_STR' } );
           $-=!$%<<(pop||4);print$"x$-,map($-&$_?'  ':'/\\',$%..$.++),$/while$---
           END_SRC_STR

       producing:

        ''=~('(?{'.('`'|'%').('['^'-').('`'|'!').('`'|"\,").'"\\$-=!\\$%<<('.(
        '['^'+').('`'|'/').('['^'+').'||'.('^'^('`'|'*')).');'.('['^'+').('['^

   Dueling Dingos
       During the TPR02 Perl Golf tournament, `/anick composed a poem describing his experience,
       entitled Dueling Dingos.

       You can produce a program that emits his moving poem like this:

           print sightly( { Shape        => 'yanick3',
                            Regex        => 1,
                            Print        => 1,
                            SourceString => <<'END_DINGO' } );

       The generated program, being 2577 lines long, is not reproduced here.  To generate a
       shorter program summarising `/anick's TPR02 anguish:

           print sightly( { Shape        => 'yanick,eye,mosquito,coffee',
                            Gap          => 3,

                            SourceString => <<'END_SUFFERING' } );
           My head is hurting, my right eye feels like it's going to pop
           like a mosquito drinking from an expresso addict with high
           blood pressure, I want to crawl somewhere damp and dark and
           quiet and I consider never to touch a keyboard again.

   Error Handling
       The "sightly" function returns a properly shaped program string; there is no error return.
       If something is badly wrong, "die" is called.  So if you are calling "sightly" in an
       environment where it's unacceptable to die, be sure to wrap the "sightly" call in an
       "eval" block. For example:

           eval {
               $prog = sightly( { Shape         => 'invalid-shape',
                                  SourceFile    => 'eyesore.pl',
                                  InformHandler => sub {} } );
           };
           if ($@) { warn "sightly died: $@\n" }

   EyeDropping EyeDrops.pm
       To illustrate EyeDropping a non-trivial module, we convert EyeDrops.pm itself into a bunch
       o' camels, via the following generator program, mkeye.pl:

           use Acme::EyeDrops qw(sightly);
           # Slurp EyeDrops.pm into $orig string.
           my $orig = Acme::EyeDrops::slurp_yerself();
           # Split $orig into the source ($src) and the pod ($doc).
           my ($src, $doc) = split(/\n1;\n/, $orig, 2);
           # Remove the line containing $eye_dir = __FILE__ ...
           # because this line confuses eval.
           $src =~ s/^(my \$eye_dir\b.*)$//m;
           # Generate the new sightly version of EyeDrops.pm.
           print $1, sightly( { Regex         => 0,
                                Compact       => 1,
                                TrapEvalDie   => 1,
                                FillerVar     => ';#',
                                Shape         => 'camel',
                                Gap           => 1,
                                SourceString  => $src } ),
           ";\n1;\n", $doc;

       Running this program:

           perl mkeye.pl >m.tmp

       produces m.tmp, which can be copied over the top of the original EyeDrops.pm in the Acme
       directory. Though the new bunch o' camels version passes the regression test suite, it's
       about 4 times slower than the original.

       Notice that we used Regex => 0 (since EyeDrops.pm uses many regular expressions),
       TrapEvalDie => 1 (since EyeDrops.pm calls the "die" function) and FillerVar => ';#' (to
       avoid possible warnings due to unused variables).  Notice too that the only known eval-
       hostile line in EyeDrops.pm:

           my $eye_dir = __FILE__; ...

       was extracted and inserted at the top of the new file.

   Encoding Binary Files
       But wait, there's more. You can encode binary files too.

           print sightly( { Shape      => 'camel,mongers',
                            SourceFile => 'some_binary_file',
                            Binary     => 1,
                            Print      => 1,
                            Gap        => 3 } );

       This is prettier than uuencode/uudecode.  To encode:

           sightly.pl -g3 -bps camel,mongers -f some_binary_file >eyesore

       To decode:

           perl eyesore >f.tmp

       To verify it worked:

           cmp f.tmp some_binary_file

       The bra, donated by Elaine -HFB- Ashton, was bought by the artist expressly for this
       artwork at the YAPC::Europe 2003 auction.

       An interpretation of Brocard's modern masterpiece is given below:

        Victoria Bra, Secret Tango (2003)


        L. Brocard 1976-
        This, the third work in Brocard's acclaimed "Naranja" sequence,
        explodes the theme of semantic [a]chromatic aspects of aranciata
        visual perception, first explored in his celebrated "Buffy" series,
        and fully explores the concept of supporting relationships, which
        were touched on in his earlier works. The site's central artifact
        is a stark reminder of the lack of support in contemporary
        relationships, with the jumbled juxtaposition of its two cups,
        indicative of being discarded in a hurry, symbolizing the excessive
        rapidity and tautness of modern life. As always with Brocard, it is
        vital to consider the intertextuality of the title of the work, in
        order to deconstruct the surface meaning of the work itself and
        penetrate, as it were, to the kernel of the work's "meaning", if
        such a concept is still relevant in the present context. Consider,
        for example, the word "Victoria": does it express the moniker of the
        bra's former occupant or merely the state or district in which she
        was born? And what of "Secret Tango"? Is it, in the context of the
        universe that is the present work, merely indicative of the site's
        location and visual perception, or does it suggest the bra's former
        resident once furtively enjoyed a rhythmic dance of long gliding
        steps and sudden pauses with the artist? The viewer will no doubt
        at this point recall that the word "tango" rhymes with "mango" and
        thereby grasp the semantic thrust of the work's title. However, the
        installation itself has even more to reveal when the particularly
        observant viewer speculates on the site's central device being
        strapped to its current owner's chiseled torso.

        This work is extremely fragile. Please do not touch.

   Buffy Goes to the Cricket
       Buffy fans might like to rotate her letters:

           print sightly( { Shape       => 'buffy',
                            Rotate      => 0,  # try 270, 90 and 180
                            RotateType  => 1,  # try 0, 1, 2
                            SourceFile  => 'helloworld.pl',
                            Regex       => 1 } );

       or have her ride a pony:

           print sightly( { Shape        => 'buffy3,buffy4,riding,a,pony',
                            SourceString => "This is how Catherine the ".
                                            "Great died.\n",
                            Gap          => 2,
                            Regex        => 1,
                            Print        => 1 } );

       while cricket fans might create a reduced, inverted shape with:

           print sightly( { Shape       => 'cricket',
                            Reduce      => 1,
                            Invert      => 1,
                            BorderWidth => 1,
                            SourceFile  => 'helloworld.pl',
                            Regex       => 1 } );

   Snowflakes
       The "Text" and "TextFiller" attributes ("-t"/"-u" switches to sightly.pl) are handy when
       you simply want to pour some unsightly text into a shape.

       To illustrate, consider an entry in the Cam.pm 2002 Christmas programming contest,
       snowing.pl:

           $_=q~vZvZ&%('$&"'"&(&"&$&"'"&$Z$#$$$#$%$&"'"&(&#
           %$&"'"&#Z#$$$#%#%$%$%$%(%%%#%$%$%#Z"%*#$%$%$%$%(%%%#%$%$
           %#Z"%,($%$%$%(%%%#%$%$%#Z"%*%"%$%$%$%(%%%#%$%$%#Z#%%"#%#%
           $%$%$%$##&#%$%$%$%#Z$&""$%"&$%$%$%#%"%"&%%$%$%#Z%&%&#
           %"'"'"'###%*'"'"'"ZT%?ZT%?ZS'>Zv~;
           s;\s;;g;
           $;='@,=map{$.=$";join"",map((($.^=O)x(-33+ord)),/./g),$/}split+Z;
           s/./(rand)<.2?"o":$"/egfor@;=((5x84).$/)x30;map{
           system$^O=~W?CLS:"clear";print@;;splice@;,-$_,2,pop@,;
           @;=($/,@;);sleep!$%}2..17';
           $;=~s;\s;;g;eval$;

       The rules of this contest state that the program source code must fit precisely into the
       provided snowflake shape. To comply, you can pour the above program into the required
       shape with:

           sightly.pl -s snow -f snowing.pl -t -u# -n1 >snowflake.pl

       or equivalently (using the API instead of sightly.pl):

           print sightly( { Shape       => 'snow',
                            SourceFile  => 'snowing.pl',
                            Text        => 1,
                            TextFiller  => '#',
                            Indent      => 1 } );

       producing a valid entry, snowflake.pl:

REFERENCE

   Sightly Encoding
       There are 32 characters in the sightly character set:

           ! " # $ % & ' ( ) * + , - . /            (33-47)
           : ; < = > ? @                            (58-64)
           [ \ ] ^ _ `                              (91-96)
           { | } ~                                  (123-126)

       A sightly string consists only of characters drawn from this set.

       The "ascii_to_sightly" function converts an ASCII string (0-255) to a sightly string; the
       "sightly_to_ascii" function does the reverse.

   Function Reference
       ascii_to_sightly STRING
           Given an ascii string STRING, returns a sightly string.

       sightly_to_ascii STRING
           Given a sightly string STRING, returns an ascii string.

       regex_print_sightly STRING
           Given an ascii string STRING, returns a sightly-encoded Perl program with a print
           statement embedded in a regular expression.  When run, the program will print STRING.

       regex_eval_sightly STRING
           Given a Perl program in ascii string STRING, returns an equivalent sightly-encoded
           Perl program using an eval statement embedded in a regular expression.

       clean_print_sightly STRING
           Given an ascii string STRING, returns a sightly-encoded Perl program with a print
           statement executed via eval.  When run, the program will print STRING.

       clean_eval_sightly STRING
           Given a Perl program in ascii string STRING, returns an equivalent sightly-encoded
           Perl program using an eval statement executed via eval.

       regex_binmode_print_sightly STRING
           Given an ascii string STRING, returns a sightly-encoded Perl program with a
           binmode(STDOUT) and a print statement embedded in a regular expression. When run, the
           program will print STRING.  Note that STRING may contain any character in the range
           0-255.  This function is used to sightly-encode binary files.  This function is dodgy
           because regexs don't seem to like binary zeros; use "clean_binmode_print_sightly"
           instead.

       clean_binmode_print_sightly STRING
           Given an ascii string STRING, returns a sightly-encoded Perl program with a
           binmode(STDOUT) and a print statement executed via eval. When run, the program will
           print STRING.  Note that STRING may contain any character in the range 0-255.  This
           function is used to sightly-encode binary files.

       get_builtin_shapes
           Returns a list of the built-in shape names.

       get_eye_dir
           Returns the directory containing the .eye file shapes.  This is the EyeDrops sub-
           directory underneath where EyeDrops.pm is located.

       get_eye_shapes
           Returns a list of the eye shapes in ascii-betical order.  An eye shape is just a file
           with a .eye extension residing in the get_eye_dir directory.

       get_eye_keywords
           Returns a hash reference keyed by keyword, with the value being the list of shapes
           containing the keyword.

       find_eye_shapes KEYWORDLIST
           Returns a list of the eye shapes in ascii-betical order that contain all keywords in
           KEYWORDLIST.  The keywords in KEYWORDLIST are implicitly AND'ed together.
           Additionally, you may use OR inside any KEYWORDLIST element.  If this is unclear, see
           the examples in "Shape Properties" section below.

       get_eye_string SHAPENAME
           Given a .eye SHAPENAME, returns the shape string.

       get_eye_properties SHAPENAME
           Given a .eye SHAPENAME, returns a hash reference of the shape properties or undef if
           the shape has no properties.

       slurp_yerself
           Returns a string containing the contents of EyeDrops.pm.

       make_triangle WIDTH
           Returns a triangle shaped string of WIDTH characters.

       make_siertri WIDTH
           Returns a Sierpinski triangle shaped string containing 2**WIDTH lines.

       make_banner WIDTH STRING
           Linux only. Returns a banner of STRING, using the Linux command "/usr/games/banner -w
           WIDTH".

       border_shape SHAPESTRING GAP_LEFT GAP_RIGHT GAP_TOP GAP_BOTTOM WIDTH_LEFT WIDTH_RIGHT
       WIDTH_TOP WIDTH_BOTTOM
           Put a border around a shape.

       invert_shape SHAPESTRING
           Invert a shape.

       reflect_shape SHAPESTRING
           Reflect a shape.

       reduce_shape SHAPESTRING FACT
           Reduce the size of a shape by a factor of FACT.

       expand_shape SHAPESTRING FACT
           Expand the size of a shape by a factor of FACT.

       rotate_shape SHAPESTRING DEGREES RTYPE FLIP
           Rotate a shape clockwise thru 90, 180 or 270 degrees.  RTYPE=0 big rotated shape,
           RTYPE=1 small rotated shape, RTYPE=2 squashed rotated shape.  FLIP=1 to flip (reflect)
           shape in addition to rotating it.  RTYPE and FLIP do not apply to 180 degrees.

       hjoin_shapes GAP SHAPESTRINGLIST
           Join the shapes specified by SHAPESTRINGLIST horizontally with GAP spaces between each
           shape.

       pour_text SHAPESTRING TEXTSTRING GAP FILLTEXT
           Given a shape string SHAPESTRING, a string TEXTSTRING, and a GAP between successive
           shapes, returns a properly shaped string.  That is, pour TEXTSTRING into SHAPESTRING.
           FILLTEXT (typically '#') is text to be used as a filler for any leftover part of the
           shape (if not set, don't fill in leftovers).

       pour_sightly SHAPESTRING PROGSTRING GAP RFILLVAR COMPACT IH
           Given a shape string SHAPESTRING, a sightly-encoded program string PROGSTRING, and a
           GAP between successive shapes, returns a properly shaped program string.  That is,
           pour PROGSTRING into SHAPESTRING.  RFILLVAR is either a reference to an array of
           filler variables or, alternatively, a string to fill the leftover of the last shape
           with. Common filler strings are '' for no filler at all, or '#' or ';' or ';#'.  A
           filler variable is a valid Perl variable consisting of two characters: "$" and a
           punctuation character.  For example, RFILLVAR = "[ '$:', '$^', '$~' ]".  Do not use $;
           or $" or $_ as filler variables.  If COMPACT is 1, use compact sightly encoding, if 0
           use plain sightly encoding.  If IH (inform handler) is undef, prints status of what it
           is doing to STDERR; you can override this by providing a subroutine reference taking a
           single inform string argument. To shut it up, set IH to "sub {}".

       sightly HASHREF
           Given a hash reference, HASHREF, describing various attributes, returns a properly
           shaped program string.  There is no error return; if something is badly wrong, "die"
           is called -- so wrap the call to "sightly" in an eval block if you can't afford to
           die.

           The attributes that HASHREF may contain are:

               Shape          Describes the shape you want.
                              First, a built-in shape is looked for.
                              Next, a 'eye' shape (.eye file in the
                              get_eye_dir() directory unless overridden
                              by the EyeDir attribute) is looked for.
                              Finally, a file name is looked for.

               ShapeString    Describes the shape you want.
                              This time you specify a shape string.

               SourceFile     The source file name to convert.

               SourceHandle   Specify a file handle instead of a file name.

               SourceString   Specify a string instead of a file name.

               BannerString   String to use with built-in Shape 'banner'.

               Regex          Regex can take the following values:
                                0: do not embed source program in a regex
                              If Regex is positive, embed the program in a regex and:
                                1: add a leading "use re 'eval';" for Perl 5.18+ only
                                2: do not add a leading "use re 'eval';"
                                3: add a leading "use re 'eval';"

                              Do not set this flag when converting complex programs.

               Compact        Boolean. If set, use compact sightly encoding.

               Print          Boolean. If set, use a print statement instead
                              of the default eval statement. Set this flag
                              when converting text files (not programs).

               Binary         Boolean. Set if encoding a binary file.

               Text           Boolean. Set if pouring unsightly text.

               TextFiller     Filler string used with Text attribute.
                              For example, TextFiller => '#'.

               Gap            The number of lines between successive shapes.

               Rotate         Rotate the shape clockwise 90, 180 or 270 degrees.

               RotateType     0 = big rotated shape,
                              1 = small rotated shape,
                              2 = squashed rotated shape.

               RotateFlip     Boolean. Set if want to flip (reflect) the shape
                              in addition to rotating it.

               Reflect        Boolean. Reflect the shape.

               Reduce         Reduce the size of the shape.

               Expand         Expand the size of the shape.

               Invert         Boolean. Invert the shape.

               Indent         Indent the shape. The number of spaces to indent.

               TrailingSpaces Boolean. Ensure all lines of the shape are of equal
                              length, adding trailing spaces if required.

               RemoveNewlines Boolean. Remove all newlines from the source before
                              conversion.

               BorderGap      Put a border around the shape. Gap between border
                              and the shape.

               BorderGapLeft,BorderGapRight,BorderGapTop,BorderGapBottom
                              You can override BorderGap with one or more from
                              the above.

               BorderWidth    Put a border around the shape. Width of border.

               BorderWidthLeft,BorderWidthRight,BorderWidthTop,BorderWidthBottom
                              You can override BorderWidth with one or more from
                              the above.

               Width          Ignored for .eye file shapes. For built-in shapes,
                              interpreted appropriately for the shape, typically the
                              shape width in characters. If no shape is specified,
                              a rectangular block of Width characters is generated.

               EyeDir         Normally .eye files are got from the EyeDrops
                              directory underneath where EyeDrops.pm is located.
                              You can override that by specifying a directory
                              containing the .eye shape files.

               InformHandler  By default, sightly prints status of what it is
                              doing to STDERR; you can override this by providing
                              a subroutine reference taking a single inform string
                              argument. To shut it up, set to sub {}.

               TrapEvalDie    Boolean.
                              Add closing 'die $@ if $@' to generated program.
                              When an eval code block calls the die function,
                              the program does not die; instead the die string
                              is returned to eval in $@. Using this flag allows
                              you to convert programs that call die.

               TrapWarn       Boolean.
                              Add leading 'local $SIG{__WARN__}=sub{};' to
                              generated program. This shuts up some warnings.
                              Use this option if generated program emits
                              'No such signal: SIGHUP at ...' when run with
                              warnings enabled.

               FillerVar      Reference to a list of 'filler variables'.
                              A filler variable is a Perl variable consisting
                              of two characters: $ and a punctuation character.
                              For example, FillerVar => [ '$:', '$^' ].
                              Do not use $; or $" or $_ as filler variables.
                              Alternatively, you may set this to '' if you don't
                              want any filler, or to a string (e.g. '#' or ';'
                              or ';#') to use instead of filler variables to
                              fill the leftover part of the last shape with.

   Specifying a Shape
       When you specify a shape like this:

           sightly( { Shape => 'fred' ...

       first a built-in "fred" shape is looked for, then EyeDrops looks for the file fred.eye in
       the get_eye_dir directory.  If you specify a '/' or '.' in the Shape attribute, a file
       with that name is looked for instead, for example:

           sightly( { Shape => '/tmp/fred.eye' ...

       Finally, you may specify a shape with a string, for example:

           my $shapestr = <<'FLAMING_OSTRICHES';
                    #####
           #######################
           FLAMING_OSTRICHES
           sightly ( { ShapeString => $shapestr ...

       If you specify a shape without a source file:

           print sightly( { Shape => 'camel' } );

       a no-op filler is used to fill the shape.

       If you specify a source file without a shape:

           print sightly( { SourceFile => 'helloworld.pl' } );

       a shapeless sightly string without any spaces or newlines is generated. You can break this
       string into fixed width lines via the Width attribute:

           print sightly( { SourceFile => 'helloworld.pl',
                            Width      => 40 } );

       Generally, you should specify the Width attribute of built-in shapes. Notice that the
       Width attribute is ignored for .eye file shapes.

   Shape Reference
       The built-in shapes are:

           banner      Linux banner command (/usr/games/banner -w Width)
                       of text in BannerString attribute
           srcbanner   Linux banner command (/usr/games/banner -w Width)
                       of source text
           siertri     A Sierpinski triangle (2**Width lines)
           triangle    A triangle (width Width characters)
           all         A shape consisting of all .eye shapes joined together
                       (Width blank lines between each shape)

       The .eye file shapes distributed with this version of EyeDrops are:

       It is easy to create your own shapes. For some ideas on shapes, point your search engine
       at Ascii Art or Clip Art.  If you generate some nice shapes, please send them in so they
       can be included in future versions of EyeDrops.

   Shape Properties
       All the .eye shape files have a corresponding .eyp shape property file, specifying the
       shape's properties.

       Currently, the allowed shape properties are:

           name
           nick
           description
           cpanid
           author
           authorcpanid
           source
           keywords

       where valid keywords are:

           face
           person
           perlhacker
           animal
           object
           planet
           map
           flag
           sport
           underwear
           hbanner
           vbanner
           logo
           debian
           opera

       To give an example of how shape properties might be used, to find all shapes that depict
       just the faces of perl hackers:

           use Acme::EyeDrops qw(find_eye_shapes);
           my @perlhackers = find_eye_shapes('face',
                                             'person',
                                             'perlhacker');

       Note that there is an implicit AND between each keyword; that is, the above code finds all
       shapes with face AND person AND perlhacker keywords.

       Additionally, you may use OR in any argument, for example:

           my @perlhackers = find_eye_shapes('face',
                                             'person OR animal',
                                             'perlhacker');

       finds all shapes matching face AND (person OR animal) AND perlhacker.

       Instead of using the API, as shown above, you may also use the findshapes.pl command in
       the demo directory:

           findshapes.pl -h           (for help)
           findshapes.pl -v face person perlhacker

       The last example displays the faces and properties of all perl hackers.

       Please note that these shape properties are experimental and may change in future A::E
       releases.

BUGS

       A really diabolical shape with lots of single character lines will defeat the shape-
       pouring algorithm.

       You can eliminate all alphanumerics (via Regex => 1) only if the program to be converted
       is careful with its use of regular expressions and $_.  To convert complex programs, you
       must use Regex => 0, which emits a leading unsightly double "eval".

       The code generated by non-zero Regex requires Perl 5.005 or higher in order to run; when
       run on earlier versions, you will likely see the error message: "Sequence (?{...) not
       recognized".

       If using Perl 5.18+, the generated file needs a leading "use re 'eval'" when a postive
       value for Regex is used.

       The converted program runs inside an "eval" which may cause problems for non-trivial
       programs. A "die" statement or an "INIT" block, for instance, may cause trouble.  If
       desperate, give the "TrapEvalDie" and "TrapWarn" attributes a go, and see if they fix the
       problem.

       If the program to be converted uses the Perl format variables $:, $~ or $^ you may need to
       explicitly set the "FillerVar" attribute to a Perl variable/s not used by the program.

       Linux /usr/games/banner does not support the following characters:

           \ [ ] { } < > ^ _ | ~

       When the CPAN Text::Banner module is enhanced, it will be used in place of the Linux
       banner command.

CREDITS

       I blame Japhy and Ronald J Kimball and others on the fwp mailing list for exposing the
       ''=~ trick, Jas Nagra for explaining his "Acme::Smirch" module, and Rajah Ankur and
       Supremely Unorthodox Eric for provoking me.

       I would also like to thank Ian Phillipps, Philip Newton, Ryan King, Michael G Schwern,
       Robert G Werner, Simon Cozens, and others on the fwp mailing list for their advice on
       ASCII Art, imaging programs, and on which picture of Larry to use.

       Thanks also to Mtv Europe, Ronald J Kimball and Eugene van der Pijll for their help in
       golfing the program in the Twelve Thousand and Thirty Two Camels section.  Keith Calvert
       Ivey also contributed some levity to this section.

       Ideas from Adam Antonik, Mtv Europe, Eugene van der Pijll, Ton Hospel and Keith Calvert
       Ivey were used in the Sierpinski Triangles section.

       Thanks cog for the prod to add new Shape Properties feature.

       The jon shape was derived from
       http://www.spidereyeballs.com/os5/set1/small_os5_r06_9705.html.  Kudos to Elaine -HFB-
       Ashton for showing me this.

       The merlyn shape was derived from this photo
       http://www.stonehenge.com/merlyn/my_real_proof.jpg of Randal singing a duet with Samantha
       Fox.

       The simon shape was derived from a pencil sketch by the Japanese artist Eiko Yamashita.

       The candle, china1, panda and santa2 shapes were derived from similar ones at Yanni Ellen
       Liu's Ascii Art collection.
