Lingua::Romana::Perligata -- Perl for the XXI-imus Century

Damian Conway, Thoughtstream

Track: Perl - Require ()
Date: Wednesday, July 19
Time: 2:30pm - 3:00pm

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.
