This package includes the module Text::FIGlet as well as
     the scripts figlet.pl and minifig.pl (dicusssed below)
     the default font standard.flf

NAME
    Text::FIGlet - a perl module to provide FIGlet abilities, akin to banner

#But why?
#Because I could. Because I like FIGlet and Perl.
#But if you want something more substantive imagine:
#  Running Apache and mod_perl create a Text::FIGlet object in your startup.pl
#  Then figify text for the heads of Directory listings,
#  and you look like anm FTP site ;-)

SYNOPSIS
     my $font = Text::FIGlet-E<gt>new(-f=>"doh");
     $font->figify(-A=>"Hello World");

figlet.pl is a script to emulate the FIGlet command using Text::FIGlet.

#figlet -A Hello World
 _   _      _ _        __        __         _     _ 
| | | | ___| | | ___   \ \      / /__  _ __| | __| |
| |_| |/ _ \ | |/ _ \   \ \ /\ / / _ \| '__| |/ _` |
|  _  |  __/ | | (_) |   \ V  V / (_) | |  | | (_| |
|_| |_|\___|_|_|\___/     \_/\_/ \___/|_|  |_|\__,_|


figlet.pl is still in it's infancy and does not yet do smushing,
among other things.

#figlet.pl -A Hello World
 _   _        _  _         __        __              _      _ 
| | | |  ___ | || |  ___   \ \      / /  ___   _ __ | |  __| |
| |_| | / _ \| || | / _ \   \ \ /\ / /  / _ \ | '__|| | / _` |
|  _  ||  __/| || || (_) |   \ V  V /  | (_) || |   | || (_| |
|_| |_| \___||_||_| \___/     \_/\_/    \___/ |_|   |_| \__,_|

minifig.pl is a self-contained version of figlet.pl
It requires nothing more than a standard Perl distribution.
For more information about minifig.pl see minifig.pl --help,
and minifig.HOWTO on customizing it.
