Perli Gata

PerlLanguage for Classics majors.

Perligata is a Perl module that allows you to program using LatinLanguage declensions instead of word order. Instead of "$result = $first && $second" you could write "resulto primum secundumque da", as well as "da primum secundumque resulto", et cetera. The normal Perl sigils ($, @, %) are replaced by variable endings, Latin-style.

An example, implementing the SieveOfEratosthenes:

use Lingua::Romana::Perligata;

        maximum inquementum tum biguttam egresso scribe.
        meo maximo vestibulo perlegamentum da.
        da duo tum maximum conscribementa meis listis.

        dum listis decapitamentum damentum nexto
            fac sic
                nextum tum novumversum scribe egresso.
                lista sic hoc recidementum nextum cis vannementa da listis.
            cis.
