The string # Magic spoon does not appear anywhere on the CPAN, according to grep.cpan.me, so that must be in your employer's private code.
Agreed.
What does your source code repository tell you?
My source code repository is a decade old, and convoluted with branches and merges and lions and tigers and bears. However, I would
not expect it to say:
# Found this in Acme::Bleach, hurray!
# ...or...
# Joe made this up at the pub last week:
1; # Magic spoon
It seems a bit wasteful to start a search for the first occurrence in the repository, when the repository already suffers performance-wise, and when it most likely will tell me nothing useful. ("You want to revert 10K file merge? Can you do that on the weekend?") But, the question was worth considering anyway.
