You might want to link to Lingua::EN::Inflexion and what did not make it over?

Hello Damian. You might want to link to Lingua::EN::Inflexion simply with L<Lingua::EN::Inflexion>. Also, is there a list of what did not make it over to Lingua::EN::Inflexion. I searched for the word "ordinal" in Lingua::EN::Inflexion but did not find it. So while Lingua::EN::Inflect is in maintenance mode, it is still the only place that I can see where one can do ordinals, unless I missed something over in Lingua::EN::Inflexion. Also, I see WORDLIST did not make it over as well, unless again I missed something. So please note what did and did not make it over to Lingua::EN::Inflexion. You might want to write a Lingua::EN::Inflect to Lingua::EN::Inflexion guide somewhere and link to it in both modules. For example, I did not see how to do "NUMWORDS(ORD($iteration))" or "NO('charge', $count, { words_below => 101 })". Lingua::EN::Inflect is still one of my favorite modules. I just checked and found I use it a lot. Before I switch over, I would like to know what did and did not make it over to Lingua::EN::Inflexion. Thanks in advance, Lady Aleena

Hi. Sorry for the slow response, you caught me in transit (and in the middle of British Airway's current network meltdown). Anyway, I've put the downtime to good use and updated the inflexion modules, as you suggested. I also added (most of) the missing functionality to Lingua::EN::Inflexion, as well as a "translation table" for the new API. I hope you find the new releases useful. All the best...and thank-you!

Damian, I know you are a busy person, so I was not too worried. I knew you would see my request eventually. Thank you for the table to help me figure out how to convert. Have a nice day! Lady Aleena

Damian, Just a little update. My web host only has perl version 5.8.8, so it looks like I'll be using Lingua::EN::Inflect for a long while, since an update perl version there will probably happen next to never. Lady Aleena

I'm sorry to hear it. That's quite outrageous on the part of your host. That version of Perl is now over 11 years old. :-( Damian
