Elaine just used the term 'quid' a few emails ago, and now Jonathan. Could someone please explain what is a 'quid'?
A quid is another word for a pound (UKP).
One of the things that I found hardest to explain to Tracy was when you do and don't use it. You can't use it interchangably, just for certain values.
Hmm, sounds like Acme::Quid to me.
Interesting. And what such a module would do? Monetary conversions, maybe?
pony <==> (monkey|quid|shilling|penny) monkey <==> (pony|quid|shilling|penny) quid <==> (pony|monkey|shilling|penny) shilling <==> (pony|monkey|quid|penny) penny <==> (pony|monkey|quid|shilling)
And maybe we could (verbalize|de-verbalize) monetary ammounts, like
ACME::Quid->verbalize( '1 quid', 'quid' ); would return 'one quid'; ACME::Quid->verbalize( '1 quid', 'penny' ); would return 'two hundred and forty pennies';
and so on...
