This is one of my first technomagickal experiments written in Perl, a utility that converts words written in English or Hebrew characters into numbers for use in gematria, a process used to discern concealed patterns and relationships between words, and thus their associated concepts.

I originally developed this utility with Perl v5.6, and it runs under v5.8 and later without trouble.

gematria-1.0.pl --help will print the online help.

gematria-1.0.pl --how_to_supply_hebrew_words will explain how to pass Hebrew characters to the utility.
