DESCRIPTION

The Lingua::Sinica::PerlYuYan makes it possible to write Perl programs in Classical Chinese poetry in Perl.

(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 elided much like in real Chinese writings.

The vocabulary is in the 文言 (literary text) mode, not much used in modern Chinese society; the common mode is 白話 (spoken text) mode with multisyllabic words.

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