grazulis - william s. burroughs - cutup machine
Topic: Technology 5:42 pm EST, Mar  3, 2003

I have found that this cut up engine has some interesting properties. Properties which were probably not forseen or intended by the authors.

Use a mouse to drop a Requirements Document, as written by, say, a member of the Sales staff into the upper box. Then visit the CPAN site, grab a couple of relevant Perl modules and drop them into the bottom box. Activate the 'Cut It Up' button, grab the results, drop it in to your source code file and fire up the Perl interpreter. Voila! you now have a well structured Perl program which conforms to spec.

Sometimes you will have to try it a couple of times. It seems to work with Bugzilla reports, too. It doesn't seem to work with lisp since it has trouble keeping the parentheses balanced properly.
