KENNY(1)	      User Contributed Perl Documentation	      KENNY(1)

NAME
       kenny.pl	-- translate from and to KennySpeak

SYNOPSIS
       kenny.pl	[ -h ] [ -u ] [	-k | -d	] [ file1 ] [ file2 ] ...

OVERVIEW
       kenny.pl	translates a given text	from or	to KennySpeak. KennySpeak
       looks like this:

	   "Ppfmfp ppmffm mfmppfmpm, fmpmfpmppffm'fpmmpp
	    pmpmffpmfpmfmppmpm Pmpmppppppppffm!"

DESCRIPTION
       kenny.pl	will read the given filenames, translate them and print	the
       results on stdout. If you don't give a filename,	stdin is used. A - as
       a filename means	stdin.

       Without any parameters, kenny.pl	will look at the first line of input
       and guess which way you want to translate. If kenny.pl guesses wrong,
       you must	select the translation mode using the -k or -d switch.

   Switches
       -h   This will print a short notice and a quick summary of the
	    available switches.

       -u   This will convert German umlauts to	Ae, Oe,	Ue, ae,	oe, ue and ss
	    so that they can be	kennyfied correctly.

       -k   Kennyfy. This forces the input to be translated into KennySpeak.

       -d   Dekennyfy. This forces the input to	be translated back from
	    KennySpeak.

VERSION
       This is $Revision: 1.7 $.

BUGS
       The -u switch might not work for	charsets other than Latin-1. You might
       try to convert the kenny.pl script using	recode to change it from
       Latin-1 to your preferred charset.
