What about the datatable... Are you going to construct it by hand, every time? Or will you be using copy-and-paste?

Well, as I pointed in my previous reply, the transformation is not unique, there could be several variations, and including the table in the code is an easy way to ensure that the right one is used.

For instance, Text::StripAccents converts 'ß' to 'ss', something unexpected for an spanish user like me.

IMO, the right solution would be to create a set of language dependent modules similar to Lingua::DE::ASCII.

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.
