Regexp::Common::lingua -- provide regexes for language related stuff.
use Regexp::Common qw /lingua/; while (<>) { /^$RE{lingua}{palindrome}$/ and print "is a palindrome\n"; }
Please consult the manual of Regexp::Common for a general description of the works of this interface.
Do not use this module directly, but load it via Regexp::Common.
$RE{lingua}{palindrome}
Returns a pattern that recognizes a palindrome, a string that is the same if you reverse it. By default, it only matches strings consisting of letters, but this can be changed using the {-chars} option. This option takes a character class (default is [A-Za-z]) as argument.
{-chars}
[A-Za-z]
If {-keep} is used, only $1 will be set, and set to the entire match.
{-keep}
$1
This pattern requires at least perl 5.6.0.

Except CPAN. Curse the idiot(s) who think that version numbers are floats (in which universe do floats have more than one decimal dot?). Everything is bumped to version 2.100 because CPAN couldn't deal with the fact one file had version 1.10. Revision 1.2 2003/01/01 19:11:29 abigail Fixed problem with having different palindrome patterns in same program Revision 1.1 2003/01/01 17:05:56 abigail First version
