All modules must end with a positive value

[ #27896 ]

If all modules must end with a true value, then why not use a statement that carries a positive message which encourages true, positive values.

For example:

'Eat more leafy, green vegetables.'

As long as there is this requirement for a true value at the end of the module, it may as well carry a positive message to the reader.

In the past, I've returned the documentation as the 'true' value:

<< '=cut'; =head1 NAME -- Bla Bla ... =cut

This gives a new meaning to if you don't get the documentation, your code is broken.
