The following module was proposed for inclusion in the Module List:
modid: Lingua::EN::Namegame
DSLIP: bdphp
description: Converts name to verse as in Name Game song
userid: YUMPY (Tim Maher)
chapterid: 11 (String_Lang_Text_Proc)
communities:
YAPC::NA::2002, SPUG Meeting 2/19/02
similar:
Lingua::EN::Words2Nums, Lingua::EN::Nickname
rationale:
Despite its name, this module does not provide a game for a user to
play. Instead, it converts a Name into a Verse using the technique
popularized in the song of the 60's called "The Name Game".
For example, given the input of Jarkko, the name2verse function
returns:
Jarkko Jarkko bo Barkko, Banana Fanna Fo Farkko, Fee Fi Mo Markko
JARKKO!
The only precedent I can find that generates rhyming text is
Damian's Coy module, which converts an error message into a verse.
But that's in a root-level namespace, and I don't want this module
elevated to that level.
So I believe it belongs with other modules that convert one textual
English thingy into another, like Words2Nums and Nickname.
