mystery project

wickline on 2001-01-03T23:19:51

I'm too lazy...

anyone care to figure out what the mystery project on
        http://yetanother.org/damian/projects.html
is?

Ostensibly Lingua::tlhIngan::yIghun

...but what does that mean? Knowing Damian (by
reputation only), perhaps this is some spiffy
module which tames the power of cthulu to reach
into the future and modify your project's final
design goals to match the goals satisfied by your
present perl code.

or maybe it's something more usefull.

My Klingon is suspect and rusty, but:

Lingua::tlhIngan::yIghun
means roughly:

Lingua::Klingon::[your program]
YI is a prefix indicating possesion in this case
GHUN means a computer program

Close, but no nujcha.

yI- is actually an imperative prefix, in this case applied to the verb ghun ("to program"). So the module name translates approximately:

Lingua::Klingon::Hey you! Program!
