NAME

Acme::Text::UpsideDown - provide logic to turn ASCII text upside-down

SYNOPSIS

use Acme::Text::UpsideDown;

say upsidedown "The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog";
# ɓop ʎzɐꞁ ǝɥʇ ɹǝʌo sdɯnſ̣ xoɟ uʍoɹq ʞɔᴉnb ǝɥ⊥

say uʍopǝpᴉsdn "ɓop ʎzɐꞁ ǝɥʇ ɹǝʌo sdɯnſ̣ xoɟ uʍoɹq ʞɔᴉnb ǝɥ⊥";
# The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy Dog

DESCRIPTION

Acme::Text::UpsideDown provides two subroutines that can be used to create strings from ASCII texts for upside-down reading. Inspired by the Perl version called Acme::Text::Viceversa.

SUBROUTINES

upsidedown

say upsidedown "The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog";
# ɓop ʎzɐꞁ ǝɥʇ ɹǝʌo sdɯnſ̣ xoɟ uʍoɹq ʞɔᴉnb ǝɥ⊥

say upsidedown "ɓop ʎzɐꞁ ǝɥʇ ɹǝʌo sdɯnſ̣ xoɟ uʍoɹq ʞɔᴉnb ǝɥ⊥";
# The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog

Return the string that allows reading of the given ASCII string upside-down, and vice-versa.

uʍopǝpᴉsdn

say uʍopǝpᴉsdn "ɓop ʎzɐꞁ ǝɥʇ ɹǝʌo sdɯnſ̣ xoɟ uʍoɹq ʞɔᴉnb ǝɥ⊥";
# The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog

say uʍopǝpᴉsdn "The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog";
# ɓop ʎzɐꞁ ǝɥʇ ɹǝʌo sdɯnſ̣ xoɟ uʍoɹq ʞɔᴉnb ǝɥ⊥

Return the string that allows normal reading of a previously upside-downed string, and vice-versa. Basically a fun alias for upsidedown.

COMMAND LINE INTERFACE

This module also installs a ud script for easy upsidedowning of text.

When called without any parameters, it will read from STDIN and print the upsidedowned text on STDOUT.

When called with a single parameter that indicates an existing file, then it will read that file and print the upsidedowned text on STDOUT.

In all other cases, the command line parameters will be joined together with a space, and then printed upsidedowned on STDOUT.
