    • Perl program for searching Lojban word lists

    I have written a Perl program for searching for & printing out entries from the
    official {gismu} & {cmavo} lists that I think some of you will find useful. It
    can search by {valsi}, {rafsi}, keyword, or definition, or it can simply output
    a random entry. I have also written another Perl script that takes the
    components of a {tanru} specified on the command line and outputs the optimal
    {lujvo} based on the CLL's scoring algorithm. Both of these programs are based
    around three Perl modules I also wrote that can be used for searching the
    Lojban word lists or performing a few simple manipulations on {valsi}, such as
    creating & splitting {lujvo}. The combined software package can be downloaded
    at: <http://jwodder.freeshell.org/downloads/Vlasisku.tgz>.

    The code should work on any platform that Perl can run on (i.e., anything more
    powerful than a digital watch); however, if you want to run it on a non-*nix
    platform, you're on your own.

    Let me know what you think of this!

    happy....despite the fact that I am a computer programmers of 30 years'
    experience, not all users of lojban are, and if we want to reach the largest
    audience possible, things should be easy to use for non-programmers.
