  I'm too lazy...
  
  anyone care to figure out what the mystery project on
          http://yetanother.org/damian/projects.html
  is?
  
  Ostensibly Lingua::tlhIngan::yIghun
  
  ...but what does that mean? Knowing Damian (by
  reputation only), perhaps this is some spiffy
  module which tames the power of cthulu to reach
  into the future and modify your project's final
  design goals to match the goals satisfied by your
  present perl code.
  
  or maybe it's something more usefull.

  My Klingon is suspect and rusty, but:

  Lingua::tlhIngan::yIghun

  means roughly:

  Lingua::Klingon::[your program]

  YI is a prefix indicating possesion in this case
  GHUN means a computer program

  Close, but no nujcha. yI- is actually an imperative prefix, in this case applied to the verb ghun ("to program"). So the module name translates approximately:

  Lingua::Klingon::Hey you! Program!
