Hi,

That way, you stil have *only* implication but changed
the precedence of some steps (badly). Look:

If the word you get to test would be "Ägypterinen", you
never would come to the guts of if($word =~ /en$/)

Ok. Where am I going with this? Well - theres no correct
or complete morphological parser of the german language as
of today. I could write one, but I would like to write it
elegantly. Seems I´m missing a feature in Perl. Or just
some decent way to craft code that can potentially both
analyze and generate.

The task is easy.

Given 3 german words. Ägypter, Ägypterin, Ägypterinen

Write a routine that takes a list of 3 Arguments:
word, genus, numerus.

and returns a list of 3 elements:
word, genus, numerus

where "word" is the word that was given to the routine
after applying genus and numerus to it.
genus and numerus are the genus and numerus the word HAD
BEFORE applying the new genus and numerus to it.
Like so: 

sub mystical_de_morphology_ruleprocessor {
 my $word = shift;
 my $new_genus = shift;
 my $new_numerus = shift;

 TRY_RULE1: (word (m,sg) <-> word + "in" (f, sg))
 TRY_RULE2: (word (f,sg) <-> word + "en" (f,pl))
 
 return newword, old_gen, old_num;
}

The TRY_RULE part is it. I just want to apply rules
2 rules = 4 IFs, 3 rules = 8 IFs, 10 rules = forget it.
Prolog would be nice, but I want stick with perl for that.

Ciao
