NAME
       String::Koremutake - Convert to/from Koremutake Memorable Random Strings

SYNOPSIS
	 use String::Koremutake;
	 my $k = String::Koremutake->new;

	 my $s = $k->integer_to_koremutake(65535);	  # botretre
	 my $i = $k->koremutake_to_integer('koremutake'); # 10610353957

DESCRIPTION
       The String::Koremutake module converts to and from Koremutake Memorable Random Strings.

       The term "Memorable Random String" was thought up by Sean B. Palmer as a name for those strings like dopynl, glargen, glonknic, spoopwid-
       dle, and kebble etc. that don't have any conventional sense, but can be used as random identifiers, especially in URIs to keep them persis-
       tent. See http://infomesh.net/2001/07/MeRS/

       Koremutake is a MeRS algorithm which is used by Shorl (http://shorl.com/koremutake.php). As they explain: "It is, in plain language, a way
       to express any large number as a sequence of syllables. The general idea is that word-sounding pieces of information are a lot easier to
       remember than a sequence of digits."

INTERFACE
       new()

       The new() method is the constructor:

       integer_to_koremutake($i)

       The integer_to_koremutake method converts a positive integer to a Koremutake string:

	 my $s = $k->integer_to_koremutake(65535);	  # botretre

       koremutake_to_integer($s)

       The koremutake_to_integer method converts a Koremutake string to the integer it represents:

	 my $i = $k->koremutake_to_integer('koremutake'); # 10610353957
