See . * 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 (文言文, literary text) mode, not much used in modern Chinese, which prefers the BaiHuaWen (白話文, spoken text) with multiple-syllable words.
