## NAME
    [Regexp::Common::lingua](https://www.chedong.com/phpMan.php/perldoc/Regexp%3A%3ACommon%3A%3Alingua/markdown) -- provide regexes for language related stuff.

## SYNOPSIS
        use [Regexp::Common](https://www.chedong.com/phpMan.php/perldoc/Regexp%3A%3ACommon/markdown) qw /lingua/;

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

## DESCRIPTION
    Please consult the manual of [Regexp::Common](https://www.chedong.com/phpMan.php/perldoc/Regexp%3A%3ACommon/markdown) for a general description of the works of this
    interface.

    Do not use this module directly, but load it via *[Regexp::Common](https://www.chedong.com/phpMan.php/perldoc/Regexp%3A%3ACommon/markdown)*.

  "$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.
