In my time, we didn't have all those extra options... ;-)
As part of the $A++ competition of Paris.pm, I wrote those in 2000:
$A=~s/(-)?(\d+(?:\.\d*)?)/"$1 1+"x$2.'1'/egoisme
$A=~s/(-)?(\d+(?:\.\d*)?)/#les filles c'est des cloches (Souchon)
"$1 1+"x$2.'1'/sexisme
As part of a fun article I started but never finished, I also wanted to
obsolete the /x option by using the option list to make comments about the
regexp, instead of puttin comments inside the regexp (in French, sorry):
s/rature|erreur//gomme # rature|error = mistake, gomme = eraser
s/propriété individuelle//coco # see below
s/individual property//commie # translation of the above
s/(.+)\1/$1/sosie # double (as in "stunt double")
s/./"$&:"/immisce # s'immiscer = to muscle in
Now P5P has spoilt the fun by making the game too easy. ;-)
