The following module was proposed for inclusion in the Module List:
modid: Lingua::RU::Translit
DSLIP: bdcfp
description: Converts texts from "translit" to koi8-r

Lingua::RU::Charset - converts between various Cyrillic charsets
rationale:
well, I failed to find a module that converts from Russian
"translit" (that is Russian text approximated by latin1 charset)
back to Cyrillic. Lingua::RU::Charset and Convert::Cyrillic (also
more generic Convert::Translit and
iconv-based-don't-remember-the-name) convert between Cyrillic
charsets, but they only do one-to-one translation (simple
tr/.../.../). Lingua::RU::Charset can convert to "translit" - it's
one-to-many lossy convertion (tr/.../.../ and few s/./.../g). As
cyrillic-translit conversion is lossy, translit-cyrillic conversion
is ambiguous, so this module uses Hidden Markov Model to choose a
most probable cyrillic original. Here's "uniqueness of approach" -
this is the only charset conversion module (though, russian
"translit" is not technically a charset), that is not a set of tr///
and s/// commands (and cannot be rewritten as such).

The resulting entry would be:
