Not to be outdone by the Brits (see Leon's Buffy.pm
http://www.astray.com/Buffy/), American innovation brings us DNA.pm!
Did I say American?  I ment Irish.

DESCRIPTION
    So you say you're a rabid Perl programmer? You've got a Camel tattooed
    on your arm. You took your wife to TPC for your second honeymoon. But
    you're worried about your children, they might not be such devoted Perl
    addicts. How do you guarantee the continuation of the line? Until now,
    there was no solution (what, do you think they teach Perl in school?!)

    Through the magic of Gene Splicing, now you can encode your very genes
    with the essense of Perl! Simply take your best one-liner, encode it
    with this nifty DNA module and head on down to your local sperm bank and
    have them inject that sucker in.

    As the encoding of programs on bacterial DNA will soon revolutionize the
    data storage industry, I'm downloading the necessary forms from the US
    patent office as I write. Imagine, all of CPAN on an airborne bacteria.
    You can breathe Perl code!

    When you use the DNA module on your code, the first time through it will
    convert your code into a series of DNA sequences. Of course, most of the
    DNA is simply junk. We're not sure why... someone spilled coffee on the
    documentation.

    There's also a slight chance on each use that a mutation will occur...
    or maybe its a bug in perl, we're not sure. Of course, this means your
    code may suddenly fall over dead... but you made a few million copies,
    right?

    POD will, of course, be preserved. God made the mistake of not writing
    docs, and look at all the trouble we've had to go through to figure out
    his code!

NOTES
    The tests are encoded in DNA! But it sometimes introduces bugs... oh
    dear.

BUGS
    There were only a few flipper babies.

    manpage, a good psychiatrist.
