DESCRIPTION

The Lingua::Sinica::PerlYuYan makes it makes it possible to write Perl programs in Chinese. (If you have to ask "Why?", please refer to Lingua::Romana::Perligata for related information.)

This module uses the single-character property of Chinese to disambiguate between keywords, thus whitespaces could be omitted this way, much like in real Chinese writings.

The vocabulary is of the WenYanWen (¤å¨¥¤å, literary text) mode, not much used in modern Chinese, which prefers the BaiHuaWen (¥Õ¸Ü¤å, spoken text) mode with multiple-syllable words.

You could use Lingua::Sinica::PerlYuYan::translate() (or simply as Ķ()) to translate a string containing English programs into Chinese.

CAVEATS

Currently Big-5 only. UTF-8 and GB2312 support is trivial, and will be available upon request.
