Merry Christmas everyone!
If you're celebrating Christmas at your Unix console, wouldn't it be fun to have a Christmas tree in your shell? It sure would! Follow these steps to have your own Christmas tree in the shell.
Step 1: Install Acme::POE::Tree Perl Module.
Type the following at your shell, it will install Acme::POE::Tree Perl module:
perl -MCPAN -e 'install Acme::POE::Tree'
If you get notified that you are missing dependencies, answer 'yes' to have them installed.
Step 2: Celebrate Christmas at Console.
Type this to have your Christmas tree up and running:
perl -MAcme::POE::Tree -e 'Acme::POE::Tree->new()->run()'
The result:
Merry Christmas!
Ps. I created a geeky wish list at Amazon.com. I'd appreciate a Christmas or New Year present. The list is here: Peter's Amazon.com Wish List. Thank you! :)

Peter, Merry Christmas. Thanks for such an wonderful Christmas tree. You rock :-)
It installed for ages but then worked nicely. Thanks :)
And your screenshot is animated too, nice attention to detail. Did you do that by hand?
Hi Rob,
Yes, I did it by hand. I took several screenshots, loaded them in Photoshop and then saved as an animated gif.
I can't believe you have Windows on your desktop :-)
Thanks for the great blog.
