       The first time you run a program under `use Pony', the
       module removes all that nasty text stuff from your source
       file, turning it into a lovely ASCII-art rendition of a
       pony.  In the spirit of other london.pm modules, the
       ASCII-art will consist entirely of the characters matching
       /[buffy]+/i, thus fulfilling Greg, Leon and Dave's fantasy
       of seeing Buffy riding a Pony.

       `Can't pony '%s''
           Pony couldn't access the source file for modification.

       `Can't unpony '%s''
           Pony couldn't access the source file for execution.

       Your file should not consist of more than about 5000
       characters, cos the image will only scale down, not up.

       This is based on Leon Brocard's 'Buffy' module and
       inspired by Damian Conway's brief talk on his Bleach
       module.
