Here is an idea: if you don't have much positive & useful material to add, or simply think that a node is frivilous
Yeah, I guess no-one actually cares about CPAN pollution. It's just us CPAN purists who think bogus modules should not be in the XML:: namespace. We should not complain.
jryan, CPAN is an important Perl community service. Bad beta modules are welcome, humor is welcome. But a joke module should not be under a serious namespace, and the joke should be made much more obvious to those who don't know the phenomenon called "April fools day".
If this module was called Acme::XML::Simpler, I wouldn't have complained.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).

or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
