Das eez kaput! Sometime around 2002 I spaced the entire database table that mapped individual entries to categories. Such is life. What follows is a random sampling of entries that were associated with the category. Over time, the entries will be updated and then it will be even more confusing. Wander around, though, it's still a fun way to find stuff.
Confute \Con*fute\, v. t. [imp. & p. p. {Confuted}; p. pr. & vb. n. {Confuting}.] [L. confutare to chek (a boiling liquid), to repress, confute; con- + a root seen in futis a water vessel), prob. akin to fundere to pour: cf. F. confuter. See {Fuse} to melt.] To overwhelm by argument; to refute conclusively; to prove or show to be false or defective; to overcome; to silence. Satan stood . . . confuted and convinced Of his weak arguing fallacious drift. --Milton. No man's error can be confuted who doth not . . . grant some true principle that contradicts his error. --Chillingworth. I confute a good profession with a bad conversation. --Fuller. Syn: To disprove; overthrow; sed aside; refute; oppugn.

# Simple
my $method = "examples.getStateName";

my $debug = FileHandle->new(">./debug.txt");
# See below

This was mostly just an exercise to prove
to myself that there is no magic here beyond the standard
eval "require $class";
and
AUTOLOAD
hacks. Problems to sort out : 1) why installing AUTOLOAD subs in the
symbol table doesn't work -- or more specifically, why
XMLRPC::Lite::call() hangs; 2) How to AUTOLOAD methods with dots in
them without declaring the string as a variable first.
"Life's A Bitch And Then Ya Die" Usually in response to whining complaints.
ex. A. "Can you believe it? He only gave me a 3% raise!" B. "Yeah, yeah, labatyd."
