# Acme::Bleach(3pm)

For really clean programs

## NAME

Acme::Bleach - For really clean programs

## SYNOPSIS

```
    use Acme::Bleach;
    print "Hello world";
```

## DESCRIPTION

The first time you run a program under `"use Acme::Bleach"`, the module removes all the unsightly printable characters from your source file. The code continues to work exactly as it did before, but now it looks like this:

```
    use Acme::Bleach;
```

## DIAGNOSTICS

- "Can't bleach '%s'"

  Acme::Bleach could not access the source file to modify it.

- "Can't rebleach '%s'"

  Acme::Bleach could not access the source file to execute it.
