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
