NAME

Acme::Lingua::Pirate::Perl - be writin' thy Perl like a swarthy sea-dog

SYNOPSIS

use Acme::Lingua::Pirate::Perl;

Then use the following bits o' argot to pepper up yer Perl:

• be for eq, equal for ==

• seize or steal or plunder for shift

• thrust for push, hurl for pop

• keelhaul or scupper or sink or capsize for die

• curse for warn

• the booty or the treasure for @_

• the gold or the doubloons for $_

• Davy Jones' Locker for $@, a whale for $! and a hornpipe for $%

• sound off, yell or cry for print

• vast for uc, puny for lc

• squint at for study

• cast off for return, sail off for exit

You also have a wide range of traditional pirate vocabulary to scatter through your code and make it all the more piratical, although they won't cause anything to actually happen, except perhaps terrifying any landlubbers who happen to read your code.

• Arr!

• Arrr!

• Arrrr!

• Yar!

• Yarr!

• Yarrr! (note the varying levels of emphasis to match your mood...)

• Avast!

• Shiver me timbers!

• Splice the mainbrace!

• Yo ho!

• Yo ho ho!

DESCRIPTION

Avast, ye scurvy dogs! September 19th be International Talk Like A Pirate Day! An' if thy code ain't shipshape, ye'll be walkin' the plank!

AUTHOR

Earle Martin <emartin@cpan.org>, but really Simon Wistow <simon@twoshortplanks.com>, because this is a straight rip of his Acme::Lingua::Strine::Perl!

BLAME

It's all london.pm's fault, of course.

DEDICATION

This module is dedicated to Captain Jack Sparrow, the best pirate I have ever seen.
