NAME
       Regexp::Common::lingua -- provide regexes for language related stuff.

SYNOPSIS
           use Regexp::Common qw /lingua/;

           while (<>) {
               /^$RE{lingua}{palindrome}$/    and  print "is a palindrome\n";
           }

DESCRIPTION
       Please consult the manual of Regexp::Common for a general description of the works of this
       interface.

       Do not use this module directly, but load it via Regexp::Common.

   $RE{lingua}{palindrome}
       Returns a pattern that recognizes a palindrome, a string that is the same if you reverse
       it. By default, it only matches strings consisting of letters, but this can be changed
       using the "{-chars}" option.  This option takes a character class (default is "[A-Za-z]")
       as argument.

       If "{-keep}" is used, only $1 will be set, and set to the entire match.

       This pattern requires at least perl 5.6.0.
