This is a joke, right? Have you read the code?

Could we please add something to the perl policy about ITP's of
Acme-modules should contain some justification for packaging the
module and at least metion that the pacakge description should include
a big fat warning about the modul being a joke?

Basically this module implements a progress bar by timing the task nad
then sleeping the same amount of time 9 times.
