Perl Script To Reverse HTML With BDO on Linux and Unix

Today, we’re putting out a little Perl script to deal with the obscure. Now, I realize that my view is biased heavily by living on American soil, but I can’t remember, for the life of me, the last time I came across a Hebrew web page. And by Hebrew, I mean the whole reading from right to left thing. I probably wouldn’t even understand it if I recognized it when I saw it 😉 It did remind me however, that HTML 4.0 introduced a tag to deal with just that sort of translation. Come to think of it, when applied more liberally it would be a great translation tool for Japanese comic books that read from right to left and from back to front. Anyway, all this talk of forward and backward, left and right… just add up and down and I’ll be running to the drug store for some Dramamine 😉
