=head1 NAME

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

=head1 SYNOPSIS

    use Regexp::Common qw /lingua/;

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


=head1 DESCRIPTION

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

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

=head2 C<$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 C<{-chars}> option.
This option takes a character class (default is C<[A-Za-z]>) as
argument.

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

This pattern requires at least perl 5.6.0.
