That's an interesting use for Perl.

I tried it, and only have two suggestions -- you may want to reconsider the way the program changes "drive" to "DR", and "s" to "SOUTH", since it adversely affects things like:

Drive for 12 miles, and turn left on Rodeo Drive. (Becomes "DR for 12 MILES, & turn LEFT on RODEO DR") Take a right just past the Drive-Through Wendy's. (Becomes "take a RIGHT JUST PAST DR-THROUGH WENDY'SOUTH.")

And there may be other "gotchas" waiting to be discovered.

But it's neat idea, and one I'm sure you can develop further.


s''(q.S:$/9=(T1';s;(..)(..);$..=substr+crypt($1,$2),2,3;eg;print$..$/

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
