DESCRIPTION

This module is a simple wrapper around the submodules Convert::CEGH::Gematria and Convert::CEGH::Transliterate which can be used independently. This wrapper exports two functions from the submodules, enumerate and transliterate, summarized in the following:

enumerate( string )

Will compute a numeric value based on Gematria rules. Gematria calculations are applicable to Coptic, Ethiopic, Greek and Hebrew scripts. The enumerate function will accept a single word as an argument or a list of words.

transliterate( script, string )

Will convert a word (or list of words) into the script specified in the first argument. Valid scripts values are "cop", "eth", "ell", "heb" and "co", "et", "el", "he". These are the 3 and 2 letter ISO 15924 script codes for Coptic, Ethiopic, Greek and Hebrew.
