The String::Koremutake module converts to and from Koremutake Memorable
|
|
Random Strings.
|
|
|
|
The term "Memorable Random String" was thought up by Sean B. Palmer as a
|
|
name for those strings like dopynl, glargen, glonknic, spoopwiddle, and
|
|
kebble etc. that don't have any conventional sense, but can be used as
|
|
random identifiers, especially in URIs to keep them persistent. See

Koremutake is a MeRS algorithm which is used by Shorl
|
|
(http://shorl.com/koremutake.php). As they explain: "It is, in plain
|
|
language, a way to express any large number as a sequence of syllables.
|
|
The general idea is that word-sounding pieces of information are a lot
|
|
easier to remember than a sequence of digits."
