True that.
But since underscore is not used by romans otherwise, and you dont mention it either in your article, and upperscore is not available in shell, and the article used underscores too.

Personaly, i find the underlined ones easier to read:
Code:
./roman.sh 32500
CCCI)))CCCI)))CCCI)))CCI))CCI))D

./roman.sh 32500
XXXMMD

And be honest, which one is more 'classic'?
Code:
Copyright CI)CI)XIV XII X 
Copyright MMXIV XII X

But i have to admit, the CI) solution is (alot) easier (than expected) for an algorythm to 'count' with higher numbers.
Code:
			*)	# Count it up
				Tone=CI\)
				Tfive=I\)		# Quite irritating to my understanding, but anyway...
				Tten=CCI\)\)
				DEPTH=$[ $len - 3 ]	# 1 = 1000 = initial template
				while [[ $DEPTH -gt 1 ]]
				do	Tone="C$Tone)"
					Tfive="C$Tfive)"
					Tten="C$Tten)"
					DEPTH=$(($DEPTH-1))
				done
				output+="$(roman_val $num $Tone $Tfive $Tten  )"
				;;

Have a nice day! Smilie

locale::codes::langfam5.18

Locale::Codes::LangFam(3pm)				 Perl Programmers Reference Guide			       Locale::Codes::LangFam(3pm)

NAME

       Locale::Codes::LangFam - standard codes for language extension identification

SYNOPSIS

	  use Locale::Codes::LangFam;

	  $lext = code2langfam('apa');		       # $lext gets 'Apache languages'
	  $code = langfam2code('Apache languages');    # $code gets 'apa'

	  @codes   = all_langfam_codes();
	  @names   = all_langfam_names();

DESCRIPTION

       The "Locale::Codes::LangFam" module provides access to standard codes used for identifying language families, such as those as defined in
       ISO 639-5.

       Most of the routines take an optional additional argument which specifies the code set to use. If not specified, the default ISO 639-5
       language family codes will be used.

SUPPORTED CODE SETS

       There are several different code sets you can use for identifying language families. A code set may be specified using either a name, or a
       constant that is automatically exported by this module.

       For example, the two are equivalent:

	  $lext = code2langfam('apa','alpha');
	  $lext = code2langfam('apa',LOCALE_LANGFAM_ALPHA);

       The codesets currently supported are:

       alpha
	   This is the set of three-letter (lowercase) codes from ISO 639-5 such as 'apa' for Apache languages.

	   This is the default code set.

ROUTINES

       code2langfam ( CODE [,CODESET] )
       langfam2code ( NAME [,CODESET] )
       langfam_code2code ( CODE ,CODESET ,CODESET2 )
       all_langfam_codes ( [CODESET] )
       all_langfam_names ( [CODESET] )
       Locale::Codes::LangFam::rename_langfam  ( CODE ,NEW_NAME [,CODESET] )
       Locale::Codes::LangFam::add_langfam  ( CODE ,NAME [,CODESET] )
       Locale::Codes::LangFam::delete_langfam  ( CODE [,CODESET] )
       Locale::Codes::LangFam::add_langfam_alias  ( NAME ,NEW_NAME )
       Locale::Codes::LangFam::delete_langfam_alias  ( NAME )
       Locale::Codes::LangFam::rename_langfam_code  ( CODE ,NEW_CODE [,CODESET] )
       Locale::Codes::LangFam::add_langfam_code_alias  ( CODE ,NEW_CODE [,CODESET] )
       Locale::Codes::LangFam::delete_langfam_code_alias  ( CODE [,CODESET] )
	   These routines are all documented in the Locale::Codes::API man page.
