=head1 NAME

Blosxom Plug-in: Blog-Like-A-Pirate

=head1 SYNOPSIS

Purpose: Turns your posts into pirate-speak. Aar!

Description

    Just drop it in your plugin directory. Also works from the command
    line; provide filenames as arguments, or data on standard input.

Configuration

    Customise the english-to-pirate dictionary as you see fit; each
    entry is a list, the first item of which is a regular expression
    to match, the others being substitution terms. One of these is
    chosen at pseudorandom for each match.
