Perl, like natural languages such as English, relies on positional cues to indicate the meaning of the elements ($maximum = $next is very different in meaning from $next = $maximum). Latin alters words to alter their part of speech ("puer" is boy as a direct object, "pueri" is boy as an indirect object). This module explores the alternate reality of a Perl modelled after Latin.
