Regexp::English
With suggestions from both Vahe Sarkissian (watch out for this guy, as "suggestions" does not do his contributions justice!) and The Damian (who wrote a multi-page list of potential methods to support), I'm proud to announce that Regexp::English is available for download. There's no documentation, but there's a pretty decent test suite.
(If you're wondering what prompted this bit of useless code, look at the perltodo shipped with 5.6.x and later. It's under "Alternative RE Syntax".)
It's not entirely useless. Captures into variables are nice.
I'll write up some documentation and update the version on my website before putting it out to the world as a whole. I just figured, if pudge loves all of you folks, you're worth entertaining.
