Anyway, if you make it through all of that and come up with a pair of

something that reads a news article on STDIN and the transmogrified article

Wow, that's pretty much easy then.

p.s.  Don't forget to check CPAN (www.perl.com) first to make sure that
someone hasn't already written a conversion module for this.  :)

Oh yeah, I'll check that first.  :-,

BTW, do you have a preference for which version of Perl?  I'm assuming
5.005.x would be fine.  I hope you aren't using Perl 4.x.  :-P
