NAME

Acme::ESP - The power to implant and extract strings' thoughts.

SYNOPSIS

    #!/usr/bin/perl -l
    use Acme::ESP;

    my $string= "Nice hat.";

    # Implant a thought:
    $string.oO( "What an ugly hat!" );

    print $string;          # Prints "Nice hat."

    # Read a thought, leaving it in place:
    print $string.oO( );    # Prints "What an ugly hat!"

    # Read a thought, replacing it:
    print $string . o O ( "Did I say that out loud?!" );
    # Prints "What an ugly hat!"

    # Empty their mind:
    print $string.oO( '' );
    # Prints "Did I say that out loud?!"

DESCRIPTION

ESP defies description.

GOTCHAS

Many operations on strings can distract them, removing the implanted thought.

Some platforms are skeptical and interfere with the extraction of stored thoughts.
