            Release of version 0.50 of Lingua::Romana::Perligata
==============================================================================


NOMEN

   Lingua::Romana::Perligata -- Perl in Latin

DESCRIPTIO

   The Lingua::Romana::Perligata makes it makes it possible to write Perl
   programs in Latin. (If you have to ask "Why?", then the answer probably
   won't make any sense to you either.)

   The linguistic principles behind Perligata are described in:

           http://www.csse.monash.edu.au/~damian/papers/HTML/Perligata.html

   The module is `use'd at the start of the program, and installs a filter
   which allows the rest of the program to be written in (modified) Latin,
   as described in the accompanying documentation.

EXEMPLUM

       #! /usr/bin/perl -w
       use Lingua::Romana::Perligata;
