See <http://www.perl.com/perl/misc/Artistic.html>. * Introduction The Lingua::Sinica::PerlYuYan makes it makes it possible to write Perl programs in Chinese. (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 keyword matches; whitespaces could be omitted this way, much as in real Chinese writings. The vocabulary is of the WenYanWen (�娥��, literary text) mode, not much used in modern Chinese, which prefers the BaiHuaWen (�ոܤ�, spoken text) with multiple-syllable words.
