DESCRIPTION

This module provides a simplistic, but powerful, interface to a Butterfly.

OBJECT INTERFACE

=over

  • new

Create a new buterfly, all by yourself! :)

=cut

  • feed

A well-fed butterfly is a happy butterfly. The Perl gods like happy butterflies. Too much food makes a sad butterfly though. :( No one likes a sad butterfly.

[Technical details: returns True for a happy hungry butterfly, and returns False for a big full butterfly. ]

=cut

  • play

A good butterfly trainer should play often with their butterfly, as this makes them happy. Butterflies get tired though, and then they don't like to play, they need rest instead then.

[Technical details: returns True for a butterfly that wants to play more, and returns False for a butterfly that needs a nap. ]

=cut

  • nap

Sometimes, even a big butterfly get tired. When butterflies are tired, they need a nap to make them feel better! But, if the butterfly isn't tired, making it try to take a nap will make it a sad butterfly. :(

=cut

  • sacrifice

Ah, we finally have reached the last goal of all good butterflies. Sacrificing to the Perl gods. You'd best hope your butterfly was happy enough, or death to your Perl script will come! :(
