Here is the pod for it, extracted from the source via:
$ perldoc DWIM.imc  DWIM.pod.txt

I should clean up and comment it a bit, then I could submit it - where?
runtime/parrot/lib ?

   Parrot::DWIM - Parrot's confusing opcodes made easy.

   The first time you run a program under include DWIM, the
   module replaces all the unsightly opcodes from your source
   file with the new DWIM comment: #### DDDDWWWWIIIIMMMM and runs 
normally.

   The code continues to work exactly as it did before, but
   now it looks like this:

   .pcc_sub _main prototyped
   .include DWIM.imc
  # DWIM  The answer is\n
  # DWIM  $I0, 20, 23
  # DWIM  $I0
  # DWIM  $I0
  # DWIM  \nsay's Parrot!\n
  # DWIM
   .end

   Can't open 'file' for reading

   Can't open 'file' for writing

BBBBUUUUGGGGSSSS
   Doesn't work for code like

   I0 = 1

   Probably a lot more.

Not even lib. It could go into runtime/parrot/include though, this is at
least searched for :)

Yeah - and don't mix up these countries ... Austria is the big one

[ANNOUNCE] Parrot::DWIM

2003-09-23 Thread Leopold Toetsch 
As we don't have any libs yet, I thought, I start with an important one. 
It works like Acme::DWIM.

Here is a sample run:

$ cat hello.imc
.pcc_sub _main prototyped
.include DWIM.imc
add $I0, 20, 22
print $I0
print \nHello Parrot!\n
end
.end
$ parrot hello.imc
42
Hello Parrot!
$ cat hello.imc
.pcc_sub _main prototyped
.include DWIM.imc
   # DWIM  $I0, 20, 22
   # DWIM  $I0
   # DWIM  \nHello Parrot!\n
   # DWIM
.end
$ parrot hello.imc
42
Hello Parrot!
So during the first run, the DWIM lib replaces all these nasty opcodes, 
which no one can remember, with the much more handsome DWIM comment.
This makes for much simpler code: just fill in the proper operands.

I should clean up and comment it a bit, then I could submit it - where?
runtime/parrot/lib ?
