ECKSPORTS

translate

Exports the function "translate" into your namespace.

Pass translate some text, translate returns some LOLCATed text.

If you prefer to call translate() with the fully qualified name, and don't want translate() to be exported into your namespace:

            

              
              
use Acme::LOLCAT ();
# ...
my $translated_text
  = Acme::LOLCAT::Translate( $orginal_text );
            
          

IM IN UR NAMESPAEC AND I CAN HAZ

has

Every LOLCAT->can('has')

haz

I CAN HAZ TOO

DEMONSTRASHUN TO SEEZ IT WERK IN REEL TIEM

I've created a quick and dirty ajax powered web page to show how easy Acme:LOLCAT is to use. Point your web browser here:

http://www.kentcowgill.org/lolcat.html

The backend CGI that accepts and responds to the ajax requests is very simple:

            

              
              
#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use warnings;
use CGI qw/:standard/;
use Acme::LOLCAT;
print header( -type => 'text/html'),
      translate( param( 'english' );
            
          

... where 'english' is the name of the textarea where input is accepted.

DEPENDNSEEZ

Requires Exporter.
