I have written a Perl program for searching for & printing out entries from the
official {gismu} & {cmavo} lists that I think some of you will find useful.  It
can search by {valsi}, {rafsi}, keyword, or definition, or it can simply output
a random entry.  I have also written another Perl script that takes the
components of a {tanru} specified on the command line and outputs the optimal
{lujvo} based on the CLL's scoring algorithm.  Both of these programs are based
around three Perl modules I also wrote that can be used for searching the
Lojban word lists or performing a few simple manipulations on {valsi}, such as
creating & splitting {lujvo}.  The combined software package can be downloaded
at: <http://jwodder.freeshell.org/downloads/Vlasisku.tgz>.

The code should work on any platform that Perl can run on (i.e., anything more
powerful than a digital watch); however, if you want to run it on a non-*nix
platform, you're on your own.

  Now, if you could just embed it in a web interface, I'd be
happy....despite the fact that I am a computer programmers of 30 years'
experience, not all users of lojban are, and if we want to reach the
largest audience possible, things should be easy to use for
non-programmers.
