Have you ever hankered after rollbacks outside of databases, the ability to throw your hands up in the air and scream "WHY $DIETY? WHY?" and skip back to a point in your life, or execution path, where it hadn't all gone horribly wrong?
Have you? HAVE YOU? I know I have. Acme::Whatif provides you with that oft requested second chance - simply die within a whatif {} block and you can have another go AS IF NOTHING HAD HAPPENED. It's like Groundhog Day. All over again. But without the giant subterranean dwelling rodents [0]. Not only that but Acme::Whatif, for a limited time only, provides you with a corresponding ifonly {} statement, executed after the death of a whatif {} block, that gives you some breathing space to clean up all the little mishaps and boos boos that you caused in the whatif {} block. Hand crafted by Artisans from the world famous London.pm Crack Smoking Club Acme::Whatif is the tool no self respecting programmer should be without.
